 The Squib fleet picked one of the best sailing days of the summer to hold their annual picnic race to Ringstead.
Mark Bugler and family in Saskia VI were Race Officers and with the help of the WSC safety boat got all of the Squibbers onto the pebble beach to enjoy a BBQ and swim. The morning race was a beat to O mark followed by a reach to Bowleze and a run down Ringstead and was won by Simon Vines sailing in 'Last Gasp'. The return race was a good beat in fresh winds across the bay to Destroyer buoy. The winners and winners of the trophy overall were Colin Hammond and Caroline Nairn in 'Iceni Rebel'.

 The Jubilee Cup is one of Weymouth Sailing Club's all-in races where
dinghies, squibs and yachts all start together. All boats race around
the same short course and average lap racing is applied to determine the
winner. With boats of different sizes and speeds the start line can be
quite interesting ! This year a pleasant F3-4 breeze welcomed the
sailors and a small trapezoidal course was set.

YOBs meet the Olympic sailors |
|
The beginning of our involvement with the Olympics allowed WSC YOBs to meet and chat to World Champion sailors from New Zealand and France after their training sessions in Weymouth Bay. YOBs were delighted to discover that Star sailors Hamish, Craig, Xavier and Pierre-Alexis all started sailing in dinghies, beginning with Optimists, with their parents or at a sailing club, and progressing from class to class as they grew up. Hard to imagine any of them in an Optimist these days, and equally hard also to imagine this scene in the Club yard a few years ago! The fun will really start when all the New Zealand team are around at once, from next week...
