Later on a run Steve and Chris, Bob and Kate and Ges and Dennis lost some ground on the left side of the course allowing Jon Woodward and Alex Halliwell (Redditch SC) to catch up. These five boats then battled constantly. At the finish Bob and Kate were first, Jon and Alex second, Martin and Laurence third, Ges and Dennis fourth with Steve and Chris recovering well to take fifth.
After an excellent lunch from Sally’s Galley, the second race sailed in similar conditions saw three new leaders at the first mark. This time Barry Moss and Julie Moore (Shustoke SC) were first from Jon and Alex in second and Geoff Coxe and Sue Beyon (Frampton on Severn SC) third. On a following run Ges and Dennis went right and pulled through to second behind Jon and Alex. These pairs broke free from the fleet during the next lap. On the final lap Steve and Chris went low on the reach sailing around the outside to gain third just behind the leaders. Ges and Dennis took the lead on this leg closely followed by Jon and Alex and Steve and Chris, these positions were then held to the finish.
Third placed and top BGSC boat was Bob Suggitt and Kate Brooks in 22980. Click to enlarge
Ges and Dennis managed to pass Mike and Donald down the next reach with Bob and Kate, Steve and Chris and Phil Kirk and Ed Higson (Frampton on Severn SC) all in contention. Up the next beat Ges and Dennis managed to pull away, with all the other places up for grabs. Steve and Chris managed to pull ahead of the chasing pack, closely followed by Phil and Ed, Martin and Laurence and Bob and Kate. Mike had an incident at the leeward mark resulting in a capsize with young stand in crew Donald getting wet. The next couple of laps saw Phil and Ed pass Steve and Chris to take second with Steve and Chris third, Bob and Kate fourth and Martin and Laurence fifth. The wind continued to get up with the race finishing in this order. Ges Brown thanked everyone at Barnt Green SC for a good day.

As a result, while I am grateful for those who have volunteered to help on the Sunday, I would be delighted to hear from any member who can assist on Saturday 26th April, even from anyone who could do both days. You may be an Please contact me directly on either 01905 774588 or e-mail michaelpickworth@msn.comMany thanks in advance, Regards Mike Pickworth Page currently under reconstruction, more information will be added soon.
by retiring Fleet Captain Adrian Savage. An excellent Summer Series and an excellent year’ sailing. Once again the Enterprises have acted as an example to the other fleets in leading the way for one design racing. On the top step of the podium and spraying champagne over the rest of us (hopefully) is Mike Pickworth who has had a cracking season beating your fleet captain into second position with consummate ease. Gordon & Rose came an uncomfortably close third with our Commodore, Stuart Howe, in fourth position. In the handicap, Stuart takes the much loved Transom Trophy with Phil Everard and Caroline Whitehouse taking second and third positions. I have little doubt that if they had turned up just a little more often, they would have been hard to beat. 2007 Points series results here 2007 Handicap series results here
The party on Saturday evening was less boisterous because of the absence of the Scottish contingent who had managed to edge themselves and their livers past the age of 21. I’m so grateful to all those who helped at the event, Bob Suggitt for the race management, Sally in the galley, all who helped with the rescue, bar and OOD duties. I hope you will all turn out for Mike Pickworth when he asks for help next year. It’s in my diary.
