The Weather

It is a tradition with the Tiger Trophy that the event goes ahead whatever the weather conditions. This was established from the very first regatta before global warming turned our winters into gentle chills.

Then, John Merricks won the event with the weather so cold that a sheet of ice was formed on the jib which hit the crew every time they tacked. John, who never wore gloves, was able to demonstrate to the race committee as a method of speeding them up that his hand had frozen to his main sheet.

The Rutland Challenge was not only the name of the 420 he was sailing at the time, it was also the event title, The RUTLAND CHALLENGE for the Tiger Trophy. It is still a challenge for everyone and it was dedicated to John’s memory after his death.

The forecast is for a sunny day on Saturday with 14 knots from the N/W and 6 from the S/SW on Sunday. Check out our weather links on this page.

There we go .. No getting out of it now! Snow should all be gone by then as well ...

Watch out Russ .. We're coming for ya!! (Travelodge won't mind me epoxying your room shut, will they?)
