2010 Jubilee Cup

2010 Jubilee Cup just after the startThe 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.

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.
