Shared with B14 and Musto Skiffs. Going to be a sunny, warm (ish) F4 with lovely spacious windward leeward courses (well certainly the last part).
I hear the pub that served the legendary ribs and streak combo is no more so evening entertainment limited to the sailing club unless someone has better local knowledge than I and wants to suggest a more appealing alternative.
3 races back to back each day. Start no earlier than 12:00 on Saturday

I am interested in attending this, but I have no way of getting my boat up to Rutland and even if I did she has no paint on. So if there is anyone who is thinking about going but needs a crew and is willing to sail with a novice cherub crew then I would be most happy to crew for the weekend.

I have notified two helms for you.
Shiny should be there. Currently without a t foil, but if it's windy, it shouldn't be a problem.
-
Banshee will be there with Sven and I
-
We are free that weekend. Attendance will be dependent on a secretive wind/temperature/enthusiasm algorithm known only to Jill.
-
Ronin will be there 😊😀

Apparently Dan's Boat might also be showing up, in the hands of the Luke and Jeremy Hartley.
-
I am afraid that we will not be there.
Like Jill, Alex has a secret formula.
It seems to be based on the conditions at the bike park.
See you all at Weston.

I think the wind/temp part of the formula is looking good for this weekend however Jill has a cold so the enthusiasm rating is zero. Our attendance looking very unlikely which is a shame as the forecast looks as good as it can be for late March.

We are broken.....

Rutland water open meeting 1 2017.
6 cherubs lined up on the Rutland grass verge, a few shades of green, a bit of black and grey, but as a curve ball, some red turned up! In the form of 'Dans Boat' under the new owners Luke and Jeremy Hartley.
With no one having a worthwhile sail since September last year, it was going to be an event to see who remembered the most.
Ronin, a beiker 1, got off the a good start, straight out the box, the Harris brothers kept the momentum up for the regatta with a perfect score.
Dans boat, a Banshee design, showed times of excellence rounding the top mark in second a few times, hot on the tail of ronin, but downwind performance let them down dropping them back down the fleet.
Exultant jubilation (EJ) , an E5, with Jay Williamson and Ade White rigged late and only did two laps of race one. With a few too many swims in R1 and R2 the called it early and retreated to the warmth of the clubhouse. Ade had prior arrangements on the Sunday which left Jay crewless.
Green bananas, a slug mod design, was sporting a square top jib to house more sail area up top. Nick and Greg were never going to be the lightest pairing so this was an good plan. Boat speed was good though, proving the idea works, until the batten in the top breaks. After a quick swap to the standard jib on Saturday they were off and causing carnage in race 3.
Banshee ambulance, a banshee design, with robin jones and joe (Sven) white used the wing mast well to cause upset at the front sneaking though gaps upwind, a non tuneable t foil caused issues for them though.
The shiny beast, a P7, had her first proper outing since major surgery to fit a new, bigger daggerboard. Crew and helm, Rosie Williamson and Jamie Pearson were both casualties of 'the fear' after differing a broken forestay the week before. A new, untested forestay was used which resulted in safer race tactics wherever possible. Although crew tiredness was the major issue on Sunday which just let the banshee ambulance through.
Special moments through the weekend have to be seeing dans boat again, and it doing so well!
The ribs in the pub were as ever and getting Ade white out of retirement is always a bonus.
All in all a great weekend. More weekend like that through the year would be gorgeous!
Thanks go to Rutland sailing club for hosting us. The Musto skiff, b14 and RS800 classes for being well mannered and considerate to each other.
