Thanks team. Batteries are now removed from hulls and charged. Strange to be charging batteries without a chance of going sailing.
These are very strange times and a bit testing for some of us. I really look forward to the social contact of our group and miss it when I am unable to do the Tuesday thing at the Duck. The sailing is great but I think that some of us need the social interaction – and I am certainly one of those.
It is great that you are keeping the flag flying Col and in a couple of weeks I hope I am up to having a sail out there as well. Meanwhile I intend to sail at the Canal on Saturdays just because it is physically easier for me there.
So looking forward to all this being over and once again enjoying the thrill of Pink Bits attacking the windward mark on Port tack and hearing you all scream abuse at me!! Just love it.
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.
