2007 YCW Spring Series
Well done to Wild Child who won the YCW Spring Series, narrowly beating Snowgoose and Simba. The final race took place on Sunday 29th with a forecast that promised to be windy compared to previous weeks, however the wind dropped again resulting in a game of snakes and ladders! Hooligan won by a small margin to Simba and Snowgoose.
Sunday 22nd. Another light wind race! The forecast that the light SE breeze would veer and increase looked promising, unfortunately it didn't happen until after the finish. Wild Child won with a healthy margin, followed by Simba and Hooligan.
Sunday 15th. Thank you sea breeze! Again, the start was delayed but fortunately the breeze arrived. A windward/leeward course and an olympic course were set for 10 boats on a glorious spring day. Snowgoose, Manana and Chuckles Too sailed well, but got pipped by Wild Child who narrowly won on handicap.
Sunday 8th. The series started with a short postponement whilst RO Derek Abbott waited for the breeze to fill in to a very welcome 6-8 knots. An olympic course was set which was won by Simba. Snowgoose finished second and Iduna third.
