R10R Nationals at Fleetwood

Following the success of our club members in the Marblehead Nationals at the weekend, we only had one representative in the 10R Nationals, and its good to report that Dave Potter continued to fly the Birkenhead Flag with an excellent 3rd place behind Graham Bantock and Yannick Rossignol.

Full results and report are available on the Fleetwood website.

Dragonforce Spring Series Results – 12th July 2017

aka – the green slime returns

On arrival at the lake it was evident there was very little wind and also that the algae, curiously absent on Saturday had returned with a vengeance. Most adjourned to cups of tea, with a few trying to sail and then giving up.

We basically agreed not to bother – then Dave Pickup went home to do the gardening and all changed! The wind followed his surname and picked up – and despite the slime it actually became decent sailing. So racing commenced in sunshine and fair winds.
