 THE SAILING PROGRAMME 2010 IN BRIEF

 The 2010 Programme  (click here)  finished with dramatically-varying conditions, back once again to the big Grafham Cat Open on October 16-17th. Three back to back races in fresh northerlies on Saturday were followed  by one light airs battle as the high pressure moved in on Sunday, until drifting conditions sent everyone to shore.

Gareth Ede counted three wins to take the event (Report) He took second place in the Medium handicap fleet, and clinched the TT trophy for 2010 over Paul Ellis.

Looking back over 2010, the season kicked off with a welcome Spring return to Bewl Water in exciting conditions on April 12th (Report)

 The May Bank Holiday gave great racing in the beautiful venue at Bassenthwaite, for the Europeans/TT's with a good win for Paul Ellis against strong competition. (Results and Personal Report and Racing Report)

  Pagham on June 5th - 6th gave close racing in open sea (Report) and three Catapults contested the Colne Point long-distance race at Marconi Club, Essex on 4th July  (Report) in sunshine and fresh breezes. 

  Rutland Water on 11th July, had a strong turnout, with bright sunshine and wind gusting up into the 20s  (Report and photos and more photos )

  We were back to Bala for August 7th-9th, for the Nationals (Racing report) and the Bala Gala and fun races (Unofficial report) and then to the new TT event at the Royal Yorkshire Club at Bridlington on August BH, to a warm welcome and high winds, curtailing some of the racing (Report)

 The wind was back at Carsington Cat Open on September 25th-26th with a good fleet and excellent competition in amongst the A Class cats. The photos from Pauline Love at CSC are excellent. (Report  and    Results and Race Report  and photos).
