An all round good time
rti2Of the 15 Weymouth boats who entered this years Round the Island race, 8 turned out at 7am on a beautiful sunny morning for the first ever feeder race to Cowes. Using Weymouth Sailing Club (hut) start line the wind died minutes before the start to leave many yachts on course side. Some 15 minutes before all were away and patience soon ran out with Rattler being the first to retire closely followed by Manana. This only left Tumba Rhumba in the PY class but their frustrations got the better of them and they motored off to Cowes. Those remaining were soon rewarded by a freshening breeze and they  thundered towards St Aldhelms. After a few tangles with the range boats the headland was rounded & the Needles lighthouse was in sight. Unfortunately the wind died across the bay and the transit times taken at St Aldhelms were used to finish the race. 4 boats made declarations all of them IRC class.

What a Turn Out!
andyMonday 21st June saw the best dinghy turn out for a very long time. 16 started the race which was the largest fleet of the evening, even bigger than the Squib fleet! A fantastic mix of boats and helms made a great sight.  The Merlin Rockets are now becoming the fastest growing fleet again in the club with our newest Merlin "Smart Tart" winning.  Most of the cruisers and dinghies seemed to arrive back at the harbour at the same time, which led to some interesting manoeuvres as dinghies tacked up the harbour.  Nick Frampton managed a capsize at the entrance in amongst the fishing lines off the pier which even got him a cheer from the fisherman.  Always good to have a laugh at the end of a race.

Cherbourg YC visits Weymouth

yc_de_cherbourg_2

Yacht Club de Cherbourg contacted WSC to ask if they could hold their post Transmanche Race get-together in the club. The group arrived in the habour at lunchtime on Sat 12 June.  Steve Fraser was on hand to greet them in the club and 'Pippa' became a committee boat on Sunday morning for a very early start to their race back to France.
The YCC race back to Cherbourg started from a line at X and included a short windward leg to D mark in perfect conditions with a light, shifting breeze.
The club is hoping to organise a cross-Channel event with YCC for next year.
