Sailing Instructions.
1. Yachts that get caught on the marina side of the course and need to be physically rescued are immediately declared as a DNF. 
2 Buoy contacts WILL be penalised and require a 360 turn to exonerate the error.  The exception to this is the SE buoy which is considered too far to be rounded with accuracy because of the light and conditions in which we sail.  No penalty is required if contact is made with this buoy.  The buoy MUST be rounded correctly and all other rules apply at the mark..  Beware the buoy near the wharf on the finish leg!!
3. The handicap scoring scheme has a gradation of handicap changes for the first and last bunch of yachts removing the desire of skippers to hang back to avoid getting a handicap change.
Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) NB Appendix E for Radio sailing is about page 95


A funny day with WNW to start with and plenty of power so Ben and Roger on 'B' rigs wasn't so silly.  We definitely suffered later as the breeze almost completely died at the end of racing.  Still it is always a challenge to do well with the smaller rig as it is an advantage in the stronger winds which swaps to a disadvantage as the winds ease.

For some strange reason, Ben and Richard thought braving the treacherous winds with gusts over 40 knots causing Richard's hat to blow overboard and nearly dislodging Ben from the wharf was going to be fun????  How silly were they as the yachts nosedived and broached all over the course.  Ben had issues with water in his boat as it became heavier and heavier to lift out.  It ended up close to half full not really surviving the last race.  That was enough so common sense prevailed.  Meanwhile Bob who didn't even bring a boat sat back and shook his head with disbelief.  Phil just pressed on seeing just how silly the two sailors could get!

We had a presentation for the Friday series under shelter.  Ben one Richard 2 and Bob 3.  The ongoing best sailor for the year was also presented.  Richard won this from Ben so he had a great year.  See below for details

A very gentle day with winds from the SE below 10 knots but very pleasant conditions.  Its great to see some green on the club lawns again after the rain we had last week.  This was the last race for the 2024-25 series so results coming out next race day!

Gentle SSE winds and just the three sailors and Phil.  It was very close racing with little separating the yachts.

Please note that due to the potential for extreme winds and possible rain, sailing is cancelled for this Monday 26th May

A very pleasant day with gentle breezes from the SSE to a max of 10 knots.  Phil set a very standard course and we went that way.  Don again shone in these lighter conditions and blitzed the fleet.

A quiet day - very slow start but the breeze filled in a little later.  Dennis had some good races with the Focus he kindly set up for a visitor. We did finish a little early to ensure our storage area in the GRYC club was tidied after some unthinking or unknowing rearrangement at a club working bee.  Thanks to Richard et al for labelling our bits.  The club will also make clear labels for the shelves.

Another day in paradise with gentle breezes and mid conditions with plenty of sunshine to brighten the day.  Wind from the SE made a good beat out to the jetty buoy and a sedate run back to the Marina.  Everyone was up to speed so it was hard work making up any distance for the rear but a most enjoyable day.

What a perfect day for sailing, six sailors enjoying a SSE 8>10 knot breeze, Phil set a great course (going that way) which turned out to be a port course, nice to see Rod Gregory joining us for a sail (50)and thanks Phil for a great organised day.

Well it was touch and go if it was 'B' or 'C' rig weather with 20-30 knot gusts from the North.  Phil set an inside port hand course  (2 legs!!!) which suited the conditions and made it safer than heading out towards the river.  It was a great beat back from the southerly buoy and many a race was won in that area as the breeze kept up (C Rig weather) or it didn't (B Rig weather).  Just Ben and Bob sailed with 'C' Rigs.

A nice number of sails on the water with a good 'A' rig weather to match the wonderful [port hand course set by Phil. Racing was close all day and results reflected this.  Roger seems to have the edge in these conditions with good boat speed and excellent pointing.
