Laser Open Meeting

Published by at 09:18 under Monohulls

3 Lasers traveled to Fishers Green Sailing Club on Saturday 27th June and were greeted with bacon butties, hot sun and a gentle breeze. There were 20 boats entered 7 of which were visitors. They have a large lake with numerous islands to navigate around which made for challenging moves down the runs to see which side of them to go. Local knowledge prevailed here big time as the wind shifts were massive, and getting on the wrong side of one cost you many places as i found out to my cost a few times ! This really is a lovely small friendly club who were very appreciative of us attending, i really would recommend it as one to do again next year. Well done to Chris Tillyer who scored a 2,3,2,3 to secure 2nd overall from the club hotshot.
I had a 10,8,7,6 for 8th overall, and Jeremy Doran had a 13,12,13,15 for 12th overall, and is improving at every event he attends.

    Cheers Rick ! 7am Sunday – Richard Sands and myself shot off up the Thames in Scruffy, got within arms length of Gravesend. Flew back with the kite on a broad reach. – Still buzzing. I will be with you and the guys on the next Laser Open. (Best of Both Worlds)

    Rick you know its only a matter of time before you come over to the darkside, look how much fun Nick is having, why not borrow a sandhopper for the Nore race ?
    or do you still want to strap yourself in rubber of a weekend?
