In fluky winds only the most talented (and/or lucky) prevail. And so it was on Saturday when our fleet of 12 battled it out. While most of the fleet had very different individual results between the two races, Kobe was the winner in both! Great effort.

Nine boats, and 13 hardy sailors started in the first two heats of the Opening Series. Initially in flukey and then strong winds Leigh Glover managed to win both races, while Martin showed consistency in coming sixth and then fifth. Simon Webster came first among the Melges in both races, helped by both Stewart Carter and Richard Jagger being on the rescue boat. Koby Langford and Liam Clarke battled it out in their Pacers - doing a great job in challenging conditions.

Simon Webster, the MYC Sailing Admiral, achieved victory in Heat 8 under difficult conditions. Admiral Nimitz once said 'An Admiral who doesn't make mistakes isn't trying hard enough." but today our Sailing Admiral (okay Captain) proved that trying to hard finally leads to success. After Simon in Heat 8 was Karen Buckingham, and Pete Balka in the Sabres. Heat 7 saw Richard Jagger, Simon (again) and Matt Darby on the podium. Well done team!

It was a day of ignominy for Merrick's Laser sailors where, after completing three laps of the course, they followed Mitch Campbell (who had missed briefing) on an unplanned fourth lap in the fifth race of the Opening Series. Was this an attempt at a collective Magoo Award, or just the fact that none of these sailors can count to three? In the end they took #1, #2 & #3 on handicap anyway.

It was light and variable winds, and for much of the race many sailors were going faster backwards with the tide. So after a shortened course we were left with the results where #1 Richard Jagger, #2 Stewart Carter and #3 was Tom Clarke. Oh well, there is always next week.
