BASSENTHWAITE 2013: FIRST FEEDBACK from Nigel:
(Go to the race write-ups
here )
Gareth won by whisker from John--I will leave you to work out which one. On Saturday I retired to repair my snapped tiller
Sunday saw 30mph plus gusts ---Out of ten Catapults six capsized ---I think only Gareth, Alastair and JT survived to take the honours on the water and three more avoided capsizing by clever racing tactics (not going out)
On Sunday night we had a table for 21 for a very good meal--it was good to welcome more to our merry band
Monday was one long race down the lake and zig zag back in the sun shine
Catapulting goes from strength to strength. Hope to see you all at Rutland---it really is a great pleasure to see the big fleet on the water
Nigel
