Foyle Days Series E Races 1 + 2 21/05/2011
Derry City Council Made this rather nice video of Foyle Days featuring sailors from LFYC
A very windy wet day (F5 SSW). The race into town consisted of many short beats up the river until it broadens at the Foyle Bridge. Two races were held in town. The start line and the windward mark were difficult to judge due to a very strong tide. It was nice to see the Ocean Youth Trust boats out in the city centre also. Todd S and Anton H both had capsizes in town both managing unassisted recovery. Todd S took a lot of water into the bouyancy tanks leaving the old scorpion floating low in the water. The race home was a fast mix of broad reaches and runs. Many thanks to Derry City Council for the prizes and a great day out. Thanks also to Ken L and Ken D for there vigilant rescue support.
