Beaver Mirror Winter Series Round 2 for the Mirrors

by Sarah Richards on 22 Mar 2011 Beaver Winter Series (Round 2) 19th March 2011.

Report from Sarah Richards:

We have now arrived to a beautiful warm sunny day, but not a lot of wind, which meant most of us, could leave our dry suits in the bottom of our sailing bags.

By the time the start gun went for the first race the wind was still very light, but we could see the wind filling in. Emma and Reg Grayson reach the windward mark first and took an early lead to go onto win the race follow by Oliver White and George.

We then all enjoy Farmer Copley’s pies for our lunch. The wind continued to fill in during the lunch break with a change of course needed due to the shifting wind, race two got under way. Sarah Richards and Ed Rice-Birchall rounded the windward mark first follow by Matt and Ben Lulham-Robinson after much place changing the Lulham Robinsons brothers went onto win the race follow by Richards and Rice Birchall and the Grayson sisters came in third.

Race three saw another course change due to the increasing and shifting wind. Richards and Rice Birchall took an early lead and went onto win the race, Will Hide and Emma Clayton came in second and the Lulham-Robinson in third. Thank you to Matt Grayson and his team at Beaver SC for running another fanatic event.

Results:
First - Sarah Richards and Ed Rice-Birchall
Second - Matt and Ben Lulham-Robinson
Third - Emma and Reg Grayson
Fourth - Oliver White and George
