RACING RESULTS FOR 11th FEBRUARY 2007

Although it was a bright sunny morning, a quarter of the pool was covered in ice and unfortunately it was the south quarter - right along the side of the sailing club.

However the rescue boat forced its way through about an inch thick layer of ice and then the waves caused by the boat as it was raced back and forth alongside the ice caused the ice to break up and, surprisingly, it soon melted allowing the first race to start just 30 mins late with ten boats.

The results for the Brass Monkey Handicap Race no. 6 are given in the table below.

The delay in starting the first race made the second race too late for most sailors so it was abandoned.
