Vintage Handicap Meeting at Ripon SC - 2 July 2011

Roly Mo · 08 Jun 2011, 02:24

Just to remind you, Ripon SC will host a Vintage 'handicap' meeting on 2 July 2011. There will be 3 races, with 2 to count and the handicaps for races 2 and 3 will be based on results from race 1 (with some number crunching by Howard and Tim over lunch). The first race will start at 11am.
If anyone needs a crew for this event they are asked to get in touch asap, and by 25 June at the latest. We are just waiting for some final information before sending the NOR to Graham for posting on the website.
It would be lovely to know how many boats/helms/crews are coming along to join in the fun,

So far it looks like just 3 or 4 boats, surely that can't be so?

Big thankyou to Jennie, all the team at Ripon and James Ricketts our OOD for todays Vintage Handicap Meeting great event, great weather (except for the wind perhaps) and great company what could be better. Thank you to all concerned. Howard

It has been a really lovely day. Sailing in the true spirit of friendly competition (even if the small crew is still muttering about the killer handicap applied to them for the last race!!). So lovely to welcome the fleet to the club, and we hope for a great turnout in October too.

PS - Can Chadders please pass on compliments to Mrs Chadders for the truly scrumptious lemon cake!

Chadders · 02 Jul 2011, 09:14

Maybe winning race 2 by half a lap wasnt a good move then?

edwillett · 03 Jul 2011, 09:53

I second Howard's sentiments...great event, great club and great people and the long drive was well worthwhile, my thanks to all.

Sorry i missed it, I quite like the sound of RM's handicap maybe he should be made to sail with it all the time, especially now he has a super fit light weight crew
