Gul B14 National Championship at Paignton Sailing Club - Day 2

by Mike Bees 3 Aug 2018 19:50 BST 2-5 August 2018

No breeze (but plenty of sunshine) stopped play today. An attempt was made to get a race in but that was abandoned as the leaders approached the final windward mark. How happy you were about this depended very much on your position at the time...

Apparently some people saw dolphins so the day wasn't completely wasted.

The evening saw leaky games night. Teams raced to raise the cork from the depths of the leaky pipe structure, having to cope with holes, leaky joints and other teams stealing their buckets! Prizes included a brick, sweets and leaky pipe branded wooden spoons which quickly became WoMD.

Tomorrow's forecast isn't promising, but fingers crossed we will get some races in.
