A number of LFYC sailors attended Seafest Regatta in Rathmullen last weekend. Racing on Saturady was cancelled due to very heavy winds. There was a good turn out on Sunday with two dinghy fleets sailing. There was a PICO fleet (16 boats) and a Larger Dinghy fleet (5 boats, Gp14, 2 laser Bahia’s, a laser vago and a Laser). Two races were held in medium winds (f3/f4) and strong tides leading to a bumpy ride.
James L and James H were sailing a GP14 and won both races in the larger Dinghy Class, comingĀ first overall.
Jack H was sailing a PICO and came 5th and 2nd coming in third overall in the PICO Class.
Congratulations lads!

As usual in Rathmullen the hospitality and the food was excellent. Seafest got a great overall turnout with chances to go surfingm, canoeing and taster sailing sessions. A great weekend despite the weather on the Saturday.

A very nice evening sail. Alan T raced his new Phantom for the first time today. He has been awarded an LFYC handicap of 1127 (same as a GP). Ken and Keith L had a very close race atthe front of the fleet. Great to see Ken D sailing his Scorpion again this year and bringing on a new crew. Bill J took out George G’s Solo for a run.

Sailing to standard PY regulations today (no LFYC handicap). A very windy day. Overcast. Westerly wind. Ebb tide (very strong in the second race).
Start at the perch up to Harts, Powerstation, Conniborrow, Fahan. Spectacular sailing. In the first race Dermot M rudder fell off forcing retirement. Anton H and Jack H sailing well in difficult conditions. Anton H and Jack H went over twice but made good recoveries in both incidents. Finishing the race was difficult because of the very strong tide even with the strong winds.
A great day out.
The Punt race in Moville was cancelled later in the day as winds continued to build.

F3 NE a bit dull but nice enough. Perch start, Faughan, Conniborrow and a mark near the end of the slipway. A very strong tide. One boat went down the conniborrow side and one went in the middle and three went down the faughan side. After a while it became clear that the conniborrow side was the best option. Great to see John McG in Culmore for a sail with Danny G. Anton H and Jack H had a couple of great spinnaker reaches.
Racing was cancelled today due to high winds. See you on tuesday night!
