Round the Island Race Sunday 2pm

Hi all
A reminder of this sunday’s Round the Island Race at 2pm
A repeat of last year would be a treat!..and who could forget it? A race of true snakes and ladders…leaders became back markers and leaders again as 360 degree wind shifts played havoc!

Check out the pic attached..i’m not sure how Leda got out of that sandwich!!..but as the fleet diverged on the final upwind climb to the finish, a final wind shift brought us to the front of the pack! a nice feeling.

no doubt Tempo had a similar experience, as they pipped Class 2……………but that was 2010..and this is 2011!!

Start and Finish details will be made available on the day. Fleets will be IRC and Club Class 2.

As in previous years, we shall hold a presentation in the clubhouse after and we’re hoping our new cafe B-Calmed will keep its kitchens open and fill any empty stomachs..

Looking forward to seeing as many of you out on sunday as possible.

White Harte Cup Results

In lively conditions on Saturday, our Commodore arranged a schedule of three Olympic style courses off the pier at Rathmullan, and tested the fleet on spinnaker handling skills, finding some in need of the practice! The racing was very close, with the first three boats in Class Two finishing with equal points overall. The result was settled by an ISAF tie-break, and three seconds split the winners.

The White Harte hosted the prize-giving with music and a hearty buffet enjoyed by everyone there.

Thanks to Kevin McAteer in the White Harte for the hospitality and to Paul Hasson as our OD for a great day’s sailing.

Results:
CLUB Class
1st Seventh Heaven
2nd Tempo
3rd Boomerang

IRC Class
1st Desperado
2nd Drama Queen
3rd Hi Spirit
