Under a thunderous sky the RNYC Summer racing fleet ventured forth into the unknown to compete race 14 of the series.

The wind bought by the heavy clouds took that moment to drop to 3-4 kts as the start arrived and the fleet staggered over the line.

The wind was very fluky and arrived and disappear without warning. On Dreamcatcher this was when we regretted filling all tanks at the weekend and 80% of the cruising paraphernalia distributed over the boat. Only three boats managed to complete at least a lap within the time window well done to those who did with Beluga II taking the honours.

With only two races left Phoebe appears to be working on a good lead position but can Beluga or Opus Two nick it over these final races.

Tense stuff guys bring it on.

Wednesday racing tomorrow! Like last week we are going to have to lay the marks from our boats as the Rib remains in sick bay.

So can we get around for the briefing at 1800hrs giving us time to get out with the marks

05/08/2026

All summer series racers we are seeing 30-40kt gusts here now and forecast 40kt by 2000hrs we can not lay the marks in this so I’m cancelling the official summer race series race now avoiding unnecessary travel

The forecast is no better but there is a distinct appetite from many to sail.

We will leave the race in the calander for tomorrow and see how the conditions develop.

The final decision being made tomorrow evening.

We may run the event around the fixed marks available at skippers discretion.
