Team Race (July 22nd Vs MSOD)

Dull start to the day but it brightened up later.  4 boats per team completed two races in a fair breeze.  After the first race the teams were neck and neck on points but the winning boat (Bobolink – helmed by Ian Ralli) put Wallasey  into the lead.  The second race however produced a different story with the Anglesey team having 3 of the first 4 boats home, resulting in a clear 8 point win for the MSODs.  Thanks to Steph Stewart for the pictures.

Regatta (June 24th)

Warm and sunny.  34 boats in 6 classes took part.  Wallasey’s seabird fleet being the largest with 16 boats competing for the G P Wakeham Memorial Trophy which, after a long but enjoyable race, was won by Calloo.

Seabird interstation Race (June 9th)

A good day’s sailing despite the light airs – but enough wind to sail by.  Two races resulting in an overall win by South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club beating Wallasey by just 1 point, with Trearddur Bay Sailing Club finishing in 3rd place.

Commodore’s Prize (May)

12th May 2018. 4 boats on the water and in the race. 3 times around course 3 with cool NNW force 3-4 and some bright then hazy sun. Order after first mark; Cormorant, Kittiwake, Pochard, Terek. It seemed that there might be a bit of a tussle for second place but this remained the order all the way around to the finish. Thanks to Mark Cooper for the photos.
