Widdy Wid Race Report - 13 June 26
Nine Comets (four from Eyott SC and five visitors) took part in two races on 13 June. Sunny but gusty conditions built to a strong breeze by the first start. The course ran upriver with a mix of tacks, reaches, and a tricky gybe—all completed cleanly by the fleet.
Race 1 was a tight contest over three laps, with multiple lead changes. Ben, Michael, and Chris (Up River) took 1st, 2nd, and 4th, while Eyott sailors John and Andy finished 3rd and 5th—less than 1¼ minutes separated the top five.
Race 2 saw a couple of early starts and stronger winds. Jamie recovered quickly from a capsize, and visitors dominated the top four. Andy and Toby led the Eyott finishers in 5th and 6th.

Weekend Sailing Report

Saturday we ran two races, the Sarah Jane PH race with 4 boats and the president's race for the one single hander. The wind was easterly F3 and fickle making conditions a bit challenging and Mark had first capsize in his Comet. Well done to Grace and Oscar who pipped Nigel in a closely fought race. Thanks to Idris, William and John for covering duties.

On Sunday there was no Eyott race, but Andy and Nigel joined in with 2 races at Up River. John got out for a sail too. Wind even stronger easterly gusty winds, with William taking photos from Puff.

Sunday Race Report
A mixed day on the water. Only 3 boats started - probably due to the grey sky - but it was a doddle for the OOD, thanks Bob.

After 40 minutes Nigel was way out in front and feeling confident; so confident in fact he omitted to pass Miles on port on the second time around. Instead he went Olympic, Ledger, River. Being an honest chap he resailed that bit, gifting the win to Grace and squeaking home just two minutes ahead of Margaret on handicap.

A good wind from the west meant that there were lots of runs and reaches and little for Ray and William to do in the safety boat.

Mark arrived too late to race, but he joined the fleet in the main river for a bit of a play, just as the sun came out.

Overall a great midday race.

Sunday was the Coronation Trophy Points Race 4, just Nigel and Steve out to enjoy the good conditions. Thanks to Bob, John and Margaret for covering duties.

Weekend Sailing Report
A fantastic weekend for sailing with sun and wind aplenty. Saturday Nigel and Toby got out with Nigel giving the safety boat an opportunity to do something other than drink tea and enjoy the sun following a capsize. Thanks to Idris, John and Margret for covering duties.
On Sunday we had 9 boats out for the Secretary's Prize. F2 wind and more sunshine. Congratulations to John for the win in Jasper and thanks to Bob, Katy and Simon for covering the duties.

Ramp repair weekend!

With mid-day low tides it was the perfect weekend to attack the ramps, and attacked they were! Thanks to Mike, Simon, Nigel, William, Margaret, Ray, John, Idris, Steve, Jeremy and Andy for all their hard work across Saturday and Sunday, and special thanks to Sue for supplying lunchtime bacon sandwiches, they went down well and were chased by Margaret’s early rhubarb crumble.

We got a great deal of work done, replaced planks on both ramps and added strengthening beams to the ramp near the Club.
