Despite relatively small turnouts in the previous two years that this event has been held, it was decided to have another go this year, especially as this is still the only event south of London. In fact there was one more boat than last year with 6 visitors joining 4 club boats. Although the forecast was for force 4 southerly gusting 5, with some sun later, those arriving to sail on the 250 acre reservoir, set in attractive North West Kent countryside, were greeted with a very light south easterly. However, race officer Don Buckle kept his nerve and as the boats launched for the first race, the forecast conditions materialised [...]
A good turnout of 16 boats arrived at Bough Beech for the 2nd round of the Streaker Southern Paddle series and plenty of breeze turned up too. In Race one, a trio of the more experienced pond sailors, Alex Reindorp and Paul Grace from Chipstead and James Dawes from Redditch all stormed to the front and fought each other round the first mark and down the proceeding run. Mark Langston and Brenda Hoult made the most gain down the first run, closing in on the leading three boats. Up the next beat there was constant place changing between Alex, Paul and James, with James holding the lead around the windward mark [...]

This enabled the race team to use the full length of the lake and set a challenging course that was ideal for the Finns. In Race 1 Richard Sharp used his local knowledge to escape up the [...]

F3 - 4 SSE and nearly dry, perfect conditions for the Easter Monday Pursuit Race bought a dozen boats to the line (though not all on time!) A beat once from Wot4 to the SE corner and a run to just shy of the bird sanctuary then back to the SE corner and then laps reaching almost to the SW corner running to the west point fetching to the pump in point and beat back to the SE corner, simples … you’d have thought so …. 2 Tera’s, Topper, Laser Radial, 2000, Laser, Super Nova, Finn, RS200, Scorpion (eventually), Phantom & National 18 all duly started … sausage first … then squares till [...]
