Keep turning left
I will however put up the 2010 calendar and have some news on the East Coast Championships. I won't give too much away but we've got an "A" grade sponsor lined up. Not as good as Rod and JJ I'm sure but it's one less thing to worry about.
In the meantime here's something to keep you all slightly entertained. This chap is posting on youtube as he "meanders" up the coast. Quite amusing particularly if you know your East Coast backwaters.
Enjoy.

2010 Calendar
Well it look's like we are getting there in planning the season ahead. No real changes but Up River Yacht Club has come in and Stone has been dropped. 9 events and discards up for debate with the sponsors! (but 6 to count seems fair to me....).
Neil Fulcher has however offered to run a sea training event at Stone before the Nationals which I think is a great idea and one that we should pursue (I won't forget Daren asking me how to sail on waves at the Nationals - as if I know!!).
I'll post the dates in the usual manner when I am happy that we are sure there are no issues with clashes and the like.

Minnis Report - the real one!
Phantom Eastern Series at
Race 1 set the scene for the weekend with a water based game of snakes and ladders where anything could happen and it paid to stay awake and never give up. Chris “Yotting Cod” Roberts fresh from his half ton cup win at the Nationals led up the final beat but could only watch as James Jarvey and Jez Taylor hit the right hand corner and passed him. These three held their positions around the final lap in the rapidly decreasing wind.
Thankfully the breeze returned between races and after a quick course change the fleet were off again. John “Titch” Wayling nailed a perfect port end start and led up the first beat chased by the in form Roberts. These 2 battled it out at the front with Roberts briefly taking the lead before Wayling regained the ascendancy. Wayling held his lead to the finish, with Roberts 2nd and Jarvey 3rd.
Key lessons from the day were: 1) If you think you’re laying the windward mark, you’re probably not, and 2) Apparently James Blunt isn’t very good at sailing.
Race 5 and
Overall Wayling had done enough in the final 2 races to take the event by a two points from Roberts, with Jarvey 3rd.
