Brightlingsea Open is 6th /7th June
NOR here: http://www.sailbrightlingsea.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/BSC-NOR-Fireball-N12-OK-2015v1.pdf
2 races Sat (with a relaxed 13:00 start time on the Sat for those travelling) and 3 races Sun
We had 24 boats last year it would be great to get a repeat of that !
Well not as good a turnout as last year. Certainly some faces missing. Those that did attend had a great time and sailing was to say the least interesting. Saturday was breezy and testing. Sunday was light shifty and with a fast moving tide made sailing all the more difficult to get things just right. I am sure somebody will post a full report soon. Great video on Facebook from Mr Cox showing the OK doing it’s stuff.

At least top 3 are correct?

Easy answer to that one, the results were wrong. Race 3 Sunday Morning Ken was 3rd not 6th. He finished just behind Dave Rose 2nd and in front of Dave Bourne an John Ball. Regards Ken.
More importantly who’s writing the report? Dave? Ken could you chase and get it sent to me for distribution?
Cheers,

14 OK’s arrived at Brightlingsea SC to be greeted by superb sailing conditions, with sunshine and plenty of wind, unfortunately however without enough water to float the committee boat, so a pleasant hour’s postponement was spent drinking tea in the sunshine before the weekends events began. Racing would be over the traditional triangle sausages course but with a dog leg to the finish from the leeward mark allowing a quick turn around between races even with 3 classes.
Saturdays racing was lively in a good force 4 and interesting chop, kicked up by the wind over tide conditions. Both of the days races where dominated by Jon Fish, Lee Childs and Dave Bourne all showing excellent upwind speed and filling the first three places in each race. Best of the rest was Gavin Waldron, Dave Rose and Burt. Having blown away the cobwebs the fleet retired to the recently voted club of the year for a meal and a few beers.
Sundays forecast was for less breeze and a 180 degree shift around midday which would test the sailors and race team to complete all of the races. However after a few postponements and a change of course area for the last race, all 3 were successfully completed.
In these testing conditions Lee Childs stamped his mark on the open with 3 bullets, Dave Bourne did enough to easily take 2nd and Dave Rose 3rd. Ken Carroll, Keith Byers and Deryck Lovegrove all produced good top 3 results with none of the fleet far behind. In fact only 3 points separated 4th to 9th.
The open was shared with Fireballs and National 12’s giving surprisingly few problems and allowing us to enjoy great courses and race management. Despite a lower than expected turn out, a very competitive and enjoyable weekend was had by all.
