Goodwin upriver race, 12th March 2023 - John's report

Image
It was a blustery and challenging day with even the three greats - Allan, Renato and Jakob - straining their sinews.  Elspeth made a valiant effort, with erratic conditions proving challenging. She went over a couple of times but nimbly avoided going in herself, before deciding to call it a day. No honour lost there! You need exhausting technique to win, and win Renato did. Followed by Allan (after the handicap adjustment), with Jakob just behind. Sergio was my fantastic assistant, and made the whole thing a real pleasure.

Bevington Downriver, Sunday 21st August - Rob's report

  Sunday 21st August 2022. The last downriver race of the 2022 Bevington Trophy series promised to be a tactical affair with the forecast of 6 gusting 10 looking optimistic.  At least it was South Westerly wind giving the best chance of making use of what wind we did have.  With a small field of very capable sailors Race Officer Jane S-H decided we only needed one safety boat and planned to allow plenty of time by starting the race an hour before low tide at Battersea.  Setting off a little late Henry C led the field out in a Laser, closely followed by Allan in his Solo.  Initially Ellie and James C in the 420, Karin A and Ben R in the Enterprise, and Mike and Ang in the GP stayed in touch by edging down the Southern bank and negotiating paddle boarders, and moored boats to take advantage of any  width of the river they could find.  At Putney Bridge a seal snacking on an eel, looked on approvingly at the skill on display.
