Racing on Sunday 13th May WHSA Invitation Trophy
There were 4 BTYC GP14s (Roger/Serena, Jim/Susanne, Helen/Yvon and Phil/Chris) out of the 6 that started. There was one flying BTYC Laser (Wiebe) out of the 14 that participated. The Winguru prediction was a very low wind starting with 4 knots, which indeed was the case when we arrived, but it quickly picked up to an average 10-12 knots and gusts of up to 23 knots. Great sailing weather which caused a decent number of capsizes in the laser fleet, especially on the (long) runs. The courses usually used the whole harp and where circle or triangularly shaped. Phil/Chris has a brilliant first race (1st place) but had to leave the next two races to Roger/Serena who took away the Merlin Trophy (!) The GP14 Invitation Cup is still with the previous winner who is being tracked down (Richard, Helen is on your tail!). Unfortunately, there is no price (except for a healthy dosis of pride) for best BTYC laser, but I ended with a respectable 5th place. Inland ChampionshipsHelen, Andy and Mark (crewing for Richard Cornes) attended these championships - Helen/Andy came 35th and Richard/Mark came 20th. Well done for showing the flag for BTYC.
