There was an improved turnout for the second week of the Early Spring Series on Sunday 9th March, but still with room for improvement.The benign spring sunshine lulled 13 boats out onto the water - and then punished them with unannounced squalls at frequent intervals throughout the day.
Members turning up last Sunday for the start of the Early Spring Series rubbed their eyes and tried to recall what they had been doing on Saturday night. Gone were the tatty old 7 racing cans, replaced by no less than 9 sparkling new buoys, colour coded in day-glow yellow or red depending upon whether they were an odd or even number.
Following on from the Brass Monkey Series which finished on Sunday 17th February, the Early Spring Series will start on 2nd March, 3 races per day with the first start 11.00.
Before that a work day is planned for Sunday 24th February followed by the AGM at 15.00 hrs.
On Saturday 1st March is a second work day followed by a Fitting Out Supper starting about 15.00hrs. Bring your own food for the first social of the year.
Sunday 2nd March is race day!
Day 7 of the Northern Brass Monkey Series
It was a case of deja-vu on the final day of West Riding SC's Northern Brass Monkey Series.For the second week running the Race Officer had no option but to abandon racing for the day with a total flat calm holding sway on proceedings.As a novelty, there was solid ice round the edge of the lake, despite the dazzling sunshine, to enhance the Race Officer's decision.
