Thursday 4 August�

The strong winds and rain have passed through but there’s still enough to exercise those muscles a bit more…

The rain held off for another day,�and the winds kept sailors happy. Perhaps they were glad not to be going around the lake for the fourth day in a row?

On shore the RNLI were plying their wares as the afternoon pursuit race was in aid of the RNLI. Thomas Donald in a RS Tera led the pursuit�from the start of the 100 minute race, only losing out in the final throes finishing a commendable 15th overall. The winner was Steve and Sarah Cockerill in a 2000 with Ben Pickering in a Blaze 2nd.

After racing we enjoyed the sight of Swallow and Amazon battling it out in a mini race between the Lawson brothers and crewed by two sailing doubles from the new film! Swallow took the honours on this occasion…
