We normally have around 12 boats entering each series, and so it is this Autumn. (Just looked outside - we should maybe rename this the "Autumn/Winter Series"...) The thing that is hitting many of us is getting enough races in to keep our scores up. Certainly Howard and Richard have taken a month off for various family commitments and a few others have had the same kind of pressures. Nonetheless, in the Autumn it is still the fast guys out front....
Leading the Series by a strong margin are Dominic and David Hume. When you see that yellow spinnaker whooshing past to the right - yes, it's them! In second at the moment we have our Superstars, Mark and Tony - a good few points behind it must be said, Chaps!! However, now Brett has glued the boat back together I expect they'll be pushing Team Hume very hard from now on. And then in third place, continuing the Firth Family domination of our fleet, comes Mike Firth - just a few points behind Mark. You will recall that Mike's normal partner, Vice Commodore Tinsley, has had a few challenges of his own on the domestic front. Mike has been sailing with a variety of crews, so his position just a few points behind his lad is all the more creditable. (Click on the 4th photo to the right for the full results table)
"Lad" ??! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ....... !!!!
Still trying to come up with a good gag about the fleet measurer. There is defiantly something there, but I am trying to keep it clean. Any Ideas?
ReplyDeleteWell - I cant decide if he is now going to be FM, XFC or very soon XXFC. Isn't FM usually a cleaning business?!
