Birkenhead Radio Sailing & Power Club
Congratulations to MYA President, Derek Priestley on taking the Marblehead Veterans Crown.
A good days racing with 16 races completed in winds starting at 6 knots and ending on 13 knots gusting 15.
This lead to changes of rig during the day to save being too over powered.
There were a few drop-outs through gear failure during the day. Mostly these were all fixed by the time racing was finished, ready for the start of Ranker 4 on Saturday morning
Five brave sailors turned out for the weekly race, B rig, boots and raincoats.
8 races were sailed before the weather took its toll.
11 races sailed.
The weather conditions tomorrow are not favourable to sail at West Kirby, with a moderate to fresh WNW wind forecast along with a high tide of 9.1 m at 13:05.
This may result in a tidal surge which could cover the Marine Lake wall and pontoons.
For safety reasons we are now going to sail at our club at Gautby Rd, start time 1pm.
Hope to see you all there.
Please note that these races will now take place at West Kirby Marine Lake with a revised start time of 11am.
This is an ideal warm-up session for the Veterans and Ranking events the following weekend and all MYA affiliated members are welcome to attend and join in the club racing.
