The Summer Series 1 races started on Sunday 10th of May with the format changed to encourage those relatively new to sailing, the Rookie. The Rookie fleet is aimed at those who are relatively new to racing whilst the Main fleet is for those who have sailed for some time. Despite some mixed weather in June, the five races to date have been well supported with last Sunday (14th June) seeing 15 boats in the Main fleet and 10 in the Rookie fleet. Feedback from those taking part is that the Rookie idea is a good one and I encourage any beginners who haven’t yet to give it a go. Overall race results so far are given below for the Rookie fleet (the Main fleet is excluded to prevent further coverage of the usual suspects). Nick Duffew and David Wright are the early leaders but with four more races to go things could change. Not featuring on the leader board is Julie Warren who although having two firsts and a thirds, which would have made her fourth overall has raced in three different classes, which count as separate entries. Presumably she will stop when she has been through the ten or so classes we sail at the club but it will be interesting to see her in a Phantom.
