Another great PSC sailing weekend!

This was our Easter Egg Series with 2 races Saturday for Day Keelboats that were unfortunately cancelled due to high wind. Then on Sunday there were 2 races using the Gilkicker Line.

This weekend we were joined by Chichester Cruiser Racing Club (CCRC) who joined in with our Sunday racing. Originally 4 yachts but one pulled out with mechanical issues and second with a furling drum failure leading to a broken mast.

On Saturday PSC yachts were invited to Join CCRC at the Creek in Haslar for a meal and banter, just fab.

Sunday We had 4 boat on the Line, 2 Tempest and 2 CCRC yachts. Billy Wyatt as RO with Frank Worley and Ralph Budden assisting on Valiant.

Race 1

  • Start on Gilkicker
  • Warsash Sailing Club (p)
  • North Sturbridge (s)
  • Mother Bank (s)
  • Browndown (s)
  • finish at Warsash Sailing Club

The wind started at 10kts NE and slowly reduced. 3 boats completed with one timed out.

For race 2 the wind had shifted SE

Race 2

  • Start on Gilkicker
  • Warsash Sailing Club
  • Mary Rose
  • Finish at Warsash Sailing Club

After racing it was decided to hold the prize giving at Hornet SSC this was because CCRC were also having a rally and were moored there and of course the Tempests are also kept there.

The results were as follows:

  • 1st Tumbledown Wind
  • 2nd Achtung Baby
  • 3rd Soft Touch (Contessa 28)
  • 4th Pepe

Jacob Kirkwood (My Grandson) had made and presented a regatta cake enjoyed by all.
