Thank you for a great report Col. It certainly was another ripper day of racing, with lots of close finishes, and the occasional incident at the buoy roundings!! Duck luck played its part as usual – certainly helped me today.
I now await the real report from Kermit.
A really well run series that was a lot of fun. To have a dedicated media resource is a real bonus. A huge thank you to the officials, the owners and management of the Duck, and to all sailors that turned up and allowed us to have such enjoyable racing.
What a fickle wind we faced today. Duck luck once again assisted some of us and nobbled others. All handled in great humour. What a great place to sail and a great group of sailors.
Great report and superb videos. Tuesdays are rippers!
Another great day at the Duck. A few laughs and some close racing amongst all the sailors. The fleet is now very close in speed and wins are hard fought.
Thanks to Col and Kermit for reporting on the fun.
I look forward to reading Kermit’s report as to what actually did happen in the racing today.
New switch fitted, as well as new transmitter and receiver. It all works (at this stage!!). Thanks for the advice team.
Interestingly the servo tray in my version 6 is approx. 10mm higher than the tray in the version 5. I guess we need to drain the version 5 hull more frequently to keep the moisture away from the electrics.
Thanks Mike and Kermit. It appears that the switch is guilty!!! Will order a few bits and pieces from HWH.
Great report and photos guys. It was a ripper day and the pink one had more than his share of “Duck luck”.
Thanks to all participants for some superb racing.
It was a ripper day at the Duck, and the conditions gave everyone a chance. I hope we all have an enjoyable and safe festive season.
Special thanks to the owners of the Duck, to Col for organising and reporting the racing, and Mike and Kermit (and others) for documenting the fun.
I am not sure the photos show how tough it must have been at times at the ‘Duck today. Sorry I missed it, but then again a B rig is my smallest.
Thanks for the report and the photos, not as good as being there but it all helps!!
Duck luck was the key factor – makes you look fast (or slow)!!
Thanks for a great day of fun close racing.
My fellow sailors, the results seem to be the focus and not the amount of fun we had yesterday sailing in the typical ‘Duck conditions. In the interest of harmony I will return my silver medal and accept that a skipper who missed one race, was on the fountain for most of another race, and had to have a re-start/re-launch in another race as he was caught in the weeds behind the starting line is unlikely to get a podium finish in our fleet. However I had a great time racing yesterday and hope that all other skippers did too. It is hard to leave the ‘Duck without a smile on your face.
As to Kermit’s issue – suck it up pal, you are sailing fast and making good decisions. Your spot is very much at risk.
