Arden Sailing Club

Sunday 7th October

A fine day with force 2-3 breeze saw 5 take to the water. Race 1 started with Ken making an excellent start leading the fleet over the line for a three lap race. Sadly this early advantage was erroded and by the end of three laps the Comets and Heron had the advantage. Corrected times resulted in a win for David in the Heron closely followed by Malcolm, Keith and Trish in the comets with Ken securing 5th.

Race 2 another 3 lap saw times improve due to a slight improvement in wind and a small change in course layout. Malcolm continued to show good from finishing ahead of Keith, David Trish and Ken on corrected times.

Race 3 featured 4 in the fleet with David the only non-Comet sailor and rounded off an excellent afternoons sailing. Trish returned to form and snatched victory from Malcolm, David and Kieth.

Overall results calculated saw the award of the box of Milk Tray to Malcolm whose consistent performance during the afternoon was well deserved.

Fun sailing on the river

Arden Sailing Club is a thriving club which has enjoyed many years of fun on the river Avon at Defford, near Pershore. There is organised dinghy racing on Wednesday evenings and Sundays during the summer along with many social events throughout the year. The club is an RYA approved training centre. We have a small fleet of club boats available and give friendly advice to new members encouraging them to take to the water in the improvers or full race programme or, of course, just for fun.

New Request to Officers of the Day for 2018.
This year to try and keep track of each race series as we go a long and so that everyone can see how they are doing I will provide a printed sheet for each series that will be placed on the board in the starters hut. I would ask that the OOD on the day fills in the results on the sheet. In the case of the Pursuit and Handicap series the sheet will also act as the record of the revised handicaps for the next leg of the series.
Ralph Evans - Sailing Secretary

Could I also request that you email me a picture of the race result scoresheet and write a one paragraph summary of racing with two pictures so that I can publish it on the website.
