Another exciting weekend on the Tred Avon river. On Saturday we had almost no wind drifting around most of the morning, then we raced a very short course, then in the afternoon the wind picked up. The course was set about 5-6 marks; we sailed up river and rounded the government mark “X” and headed back up but unfortunately the skies darkened and rain began to sprinkle down. The race committee shortened the race at the start line and everyone managed to finish, take down sails and tow back — that’s when the deluge came down, not stopping until later that evening! Oxford road was flooded and closed down around 7pm.
The next day proved a little fairer; the winds picked up only slightly for the morning race. The course was set “O3”, Olympic, three times around. We postponed and the race committee moved the starting line all the way out between Benoni point and Bachelors point, towards the wind. As the rules of the sailing instructions require all boats to sail on the channel side of the government mark off Benoni point, 3 canoes did not follow this rule and were RAF: Silver Heel, Edmee S., and Island Lark.
Missing from this weekend were Persistence, Noddy, Mystery, Oliver’s Gift, Silver Heel and The Spirit of Wyetown. Jay Dee held her lead through the last race as Island Blossom and Patricia came up, finishing 8 minutes ahead of the rest of the fleet — a gun and a first.
