Sharpness Race
Another fine long distance race at TSC. The race is to the site of a wreck 9 miles upstream of the club and back. Presumably in memory of the mistake made by the eroneous captain, participants must choose their own start time and ensure they are around the wreck before 10 minutes after high tide.
Marmite, E-Numbers and Evo lined up for what started as a drift and ended with a twin wire bounce home.
The story from Evo was that the helm is now very unfit and that the new T-foil does not fit the old "hold down" sytem. A stop to put the T-foil back in the water and ensure it stayed there meant we missed the window for the return leg. The new Centre board and T-Foil both worked very nicely. Many thanks to Tim U. for stepping in and nursing some fitness back.
E-Numbers waited and started later than everyone else and "got lucky" with the wind filling in and jetting her up to the fleet. Although you could argue that this was great judgement as Phil has won this race before. I think Phil was the eventual winner and Marmite clocked 3rd.
