Budworth Sailing Club

The Laser Results have been updated. Go to the results site to view them (but remember that the years are out of sequence- look around 2004) click here

Ian Beadle helped to update them whilst I was away in August and I have now finalized them by recording the missing Wednesday night – 12 Aug and the three Summer Series. The 23^rd Aug Summer has also been corrected and this finalises both Series’ results so the winners are……………………..

Wednesday Night

A very good turnout for the series with 12 Qualifiers – The most for a number of years. Congratulations go to:-

1^st Tony Taylor
2^nd Dave Nicholson
3^rd Richard Hulme

Summer Series

Again the best turnout for a number of years with 16 Qualifiers and at times some very competitive racing (read this as ‘determined’!) Congratulations go to:-

1^st Dave Nicholson
2^nd Nick Cheetham
3^rd Harry Cheetham

Propulsion

Racing should be based on the natural breeze and not on movement of the body etc to artificially create a drive on the sails. Since mentioning this at the beginning of the season it is gratifying to note that most people play a fair game. However, occasionally a good quality sailor still has a need to do well regardless of honesty – It is easily viewed from a distance on the shore and earns them no respect. I hope they can reform and thus improve the fun for everyone.

Wednesday End of Season Pursuit Race 2009

The usual end of series dinner took place this year but for the first time it was preceded by a Pursuit Race, bringing together the handicap and Laser fleet which was billed as ‘The True Wednesday Night Champion’. Happily for us it was won by a Laser!! So well done Andrew Brown for carrying the flag

This coming weekend

It is the Snipe Open this w/e so there no racing on Sat or Sunday

Best Wishes
Harry Brown
