The Eddystone Pursuit Race hosted by StMSC , starting from St Mawes around Hands Deep Buoy

and into Fowey was smoothly directed by Race Officer, Mavis Porter and her assistant, Tim Pratt

in perfect conditions (mainly overcast but dry) and the earliest starters (07.15) did not suffer any

wind disadvantage as sometimes happens.  21 of the 24 starters ( 6 non starters) finished the most  challenging COGS Race of over 40 miles in winds of 11-18 knots true WNW veering N during the day.

The previous day forecasts were perfect in direction but fortunately underestimated the windspeed. Most spinnakers were up shortly after St Anthony Head for the 26 mile broad reach direct to the turning mark.

Phew! Results now up to date

I have finally managed to catch up with the results on the website, which are available on the horizontal menu above,

cleverly disguised as "Results".  A quick analysis reveals some very close racing, particularly at the top of each fleet,

whichis good to see.  Accss o the series prizes are still fairly open with a further two races to run.  the light winds in

COGS2 have meant that, with the exception of Per Elisa and Jacobi, everyone has already given up a discard, so the

remaining two races remain very important indeed.

 

HRSC are just ahead of RCYC in the team results by 2 points.  However, with discards RFYC and SMSC are still in

a position to take the top spot - make sure your COGS rep is aware that you are racing so that you may be selected

for the team.  A full team of 3 boats is important to make sure your club is competative.

 

We hope to have a race report published for COGS4 in the next few days.  Both COGS3 and COGS4 were notaworthy

races with 46 yachts taking part across a joint fleet membership and excellent winds for both.  The A2 Rigging Penzance

Race SI's are currently in production and will be published here in the next week or so.
