The forecast was awful but Mark decided to sail the day not the forecast. Much happier thanks to some tuning advice from Jonk.

Nigel made it today with his new beast... the blue streak. and along with Mike used their A rigs against Jonk, Robin, Ben and Mark who used their B rigs. the Harwich boys and Ben used Jonk sails and whether it was the sails or just skill. they Jonk sails dominated the racing.
Indeed Jonk was the winner in most races, Robin and Ben shared the honours for the rest Mike scored a bullet or two and Nigel got a couple of seconds. Mark supported the fleet in last place ... wait till next time

This weekend Alton Water is going to be very busy. Not only are we hosting 3 squads, the Aeros, the Fevas, and the Teras, but the school are hosting the Suffolk Shiver Team racing. But will this put us off....not on your life. 1300 racing starts, we may even have an audience. forecast is breezy but damp. Who is in?

Well we braved the cold and the ice, actually it was sunny, there was a gentle 10 knots coming in from the southeast and we held several races in our little corner. The racing got closer and closer as the day progressed and congestion was often at the start and as the day progressed also at the finish. Everyone had a great deal of fun. Till next week then to edit.

After our first board meeting. we now have a constitution - this is on the documents page if anyone actually is interested.
Re the board at some stage this year we will hold a AGM where board members can be elected. For the moment it is Mark Hainsworth, chair, Mike Percival, secretary and treasurer, and Nigel McVittie. Mike and Nigel were slowest in stepping backwards when calling for volunteers - Thank you both.
We now can get a bank account to make sure all our fees and expenses are all transparent and above board.

We have a triangle and 8 boats turned up including a 95 today. Wow what fun. Clear blue skies, a biting 20kt norwesterley and 30 second start sequence lead to many races lasting up until the centre closed.
Results were not important, mainly because yours truly lost most of them.
After we wandered around and decided where we should set up a permanent course. Sailing at Alton has started.

Today was an exhibition of floating as the doldrums seem to have taken up residence in Suffolk. Mike had the better o the day on the water, so Mark got the coffee in after the days sailing was binned in favour of a rig tuning session in the cafe.
