Commodores Cup Weekend
Saturday 4th July was Regatta day with several families enjoying simple cruising and racing in the sunshine followed by a BBQ.
Sunday 5th was Commodore’s Cup day. The three race series was run using Personal Handicaps which means that the regularly successful sailors have to sail out of their skins to win (which they didn’t) and the playing field is levelled. As a result the normal run of events was turned on its head by this method and the first race was run by Stan Metcalfe, the Master of the Fleet. Unfortunately the effort must have drained him as he was not able to build on this magnisficent start and the overall winners were:
1st Gareth Mills
2nd Howard Edwards
3rd Mark Smallwood.
Many thanks to Mark for coming up with a handicapping schedule that meant the corrected elapsed times were very competitive and represented great racing.
