Annandale SC

Annandale SC hosted the first of the Scottish Travellers series meeting for the National Twelve class on Sunday 17 April. The strong winds which had been prevalent on Friday and Saturday were thankfully somewhat lighter, however with the OOD forecasting that they would return later in the day the fleet were keen to get afloat to make the most of the ideal sailing conditions.

In the first race Mark and Emma Simpson developed a healthy lead, with Bernard Clark and Andrew Mitchell holding a secure 2nd place until a badly executed gybe gave them a dunking and, with another capsize later in the race, they eventually finished the race in 7th place. Ian Simpson and Tressa King, who had been overhauled by Clark and Mitchell on a reaching leg of the course must have had a wry smile as they sailed past the capsized boat, and held on to 2nd place from then through to the end of the race.

Race 2, sailed on full stomachs after Annandale demonstrated their usual high level of hospitality, saw Simpson and Simpson once again out in front, but Clark and Mitchell managed to stay upright this time round and claimed 2nd place, just ahead of Simpson and King. The whole fleet enjoyed some superb planing conditions, with the wind holding at a steady force 4.

Race 3 saw the same finishing order, and with the wind speed increasing during the race the fleet were glad to get ashore and pack up, particularly as the increase in wind strength was combined with the onset of rain. With 3 races out of 3 to count the final prizewinners were:

1st Mark and Emma Simpson, Scaling Dam SC
2nd Ian Simpson and Tressa King, Tynemouth SC
3rd Bernard Clark and Andrew Mitchell, Yorkshire Ouse SC/Clyde Cruising Club
