Only a few members participated in today’s leg of the Victoria /DF65 competition. Df95 members joined in with a minute’s delay but of course were not included in the rankings.

Ten members took part in today’s four competition races in good weather without drama. Everyone was enjoying themselves so an extra race was held to end the session.

Very few braved the miserable weather to sail on this Bank Holiday Monday. Half dozen DF95s took to the water whilst our scale model colleagues were almost completely absent. Those present enjoyed the usual four races whilst huddled under the marquee. No record was made of the results . We are are hoping for a more pleasant day next week.

On this sunny day we were expecting a day of racing in the Victoria/DF65 competition. Again the calendar does not seem to have reached all members and only two Victorias and one DF65 turned up. The decision was made to cpancel the competition and the day became a non competition DF95 racing day. This was enjoyed with fair winds and up to 12 members racing ( including a Victoria and a DF65) The calendar has been updated to include an extra session for Victoria/DF65 racing. Please every one consult the calendar. /https://rugeleymodelclub.org.uk/club-calendar/

We had a very hot second day of the DF95 competition. Knees have appeared. Ten members raced and there were four different winners to the races. One extra race took place but was scratched due to the absence of a working pen.

Arriving at the club house on a damp bank holiday Monday, I found only a lone 51 sailing from the pontoon. Having eaten my sandwiches and drunck my coffee alone under the marquee I returned home without putting my boat on the water. Of course later in the afternoon the sun was shining and conditions would have been perfect for a sail, but by then I was at home. Paul (29)
