Bosun Algae 6

Two regular single-hander sailors excluded from the fleet for months by the blue-green algae rules went on the water as Bosun crew. Vicki Duncalf embarked on John Dabbs’ Bosun and Jane Anderson helped Adam Hilton get from the start line to the first buoy in the lead, a lead shortly to be squandered. There was very little wind indeed, none at times, and after an on the water consultation the race was shortened to one lap which left Bob Sampson as winner, sailing a Club Bosun solo

A pleasant little breeze from the North West appeared at lunchtime making possible a proper three lap race starting towards Middle, crossing to West, beating up to Pinkie and running back to Dam Green. The Dabbs/Duncalf Bosun overcame Bob Sampson’s Club boat (rather more of a handful with wind!) and on the last leg the Hilton/Anderson boat slipped past its Heasman sister, now helmed by David Perrett.

Bosuns Blue-Green 7

Bob Sampson and Sue Murray had the centre-sheeted Club Bosun and got over the start line first in north-west winds perhaps a little lighter than forecast, rather pleasing winds in fact. John Dabbs with Linda Spiller were second, Adam Hilton and Leila Farmer were third and the Witchells, Colin at the helm, fourth. But these Bosuns can’t be relied on to keep a helm’s hard won position; Bob Sampson was back to third at the end of the first lap and Adam Hilton first, his Bosun having inched past on the long run back from Pinkie. The Hilton/Farmer advantage was thrown away at Dam Green and it was the Dabbs/Spiller boat which led at Pinkie, Bob and Adam following with Colin some way behind. The order stayed the same to the end of the second lap. On lap 3 the Hilton/Farmer boat was regaining ground when Bob Sampson called starboard to on the way to west and Adam went about only to go aground in the shallow waters west of West. He retired. The Dabbs/Spiller boat continued to lead to the end.

Bosuns Blue-Green 8

Bob Sampson again got away well, tacking just before the start and beating away on port towards Zebra. John Dabbs followed in second with Louise Witchell, now helming, in third. At the buoy John Dabbs was ahead but well to leeward so that at West (and out of sight of the race hut) Bob was probably in the lead. Certainly he led at Pinkie and maintained the position until the end of the lap. However, on lap 2 John got ahead somewhere near West and maintained the lead up to Pinkie. The wind had shifted a little and the Bosun was goose-winged soon after rounding Pinkie. Bob had reduced the gap to the lead by the time they rounded Dam Green. Bob was again efficient going around the buoy, short tacked and took the lead only to throw it away again by forgetting to go the correct side of Zebra and having to go back. Dabbs/Spiller ended up with a long lead at the finish.

Bosuns Blue-Green 5

It was warm enough not really to want to wear the cover-up clothing that blue green algae demands and the winds were lighter than forecast, quite capable of moments of doldrum but also gusts. Three Bosun owners were present; Heasman, Dabbs and Hilton. Crews for this first race were the loyal David Perrett in the Heasman boat, Leila Farmer in the Dabbs and Anna Walker in the Hilton. This latter Bosun was the first over the start line but had less speed on the way to Inlet than had John Dabbs who went round the boy in first place. By the time they reached Pinkie John was well in the lead and Roger was coming up to the transom of Adam’s Bosun. This gap fluctuated for the rest of the race but was not closed until Adam hit Home 1 as he crossed the finish line allowing Roger to take over second place as Adam did a penalty turn.

Bosuns Blue-Green 6

The same three Bosuns entered the race but with a few helm/crew changes from the earlier race: Linda crewed for John; Rob took the helm with Adam as crew but David stayed on as crew for Roger.

Leila started the race then left for home with Anna, leaving the race competitors to police and time themselves over 3 laps of the same course as set for the previous race.

Roger led the Bosuns across the start line, followed closely by Rob then John.  They remained in this order as they rounded the first mark – Inlet – then tacked across to West.  John tried to squeeze between Roger and the West buoy, succeeding only in touching the mark and subsequently completing the penalty turn en route to Pinky.

Roger rounded Pinky in the lead, followed by John, then Rob.  A close race continued to Dam Green to complete the first lap.

However, John took the lead round Inlet, followed by Roger, then Rob.  This order of Bosuns continued unchanged until the end of the race.

Bosuns Blue-Green 3

Sunny, very warm, slight south east breeze. Thankfully only 2 fishermen – but tonnes of algae everywhere, and some floating dead fish around. There were three Bosuns: John Dabbs with Leila Farmer as crew, Linda Spiller helming (first time helming a Bosun?) with Robin as crew, and Roger Heasman with David Perrett as crew. Tom Sparkes from SWLT pressed the button for us, so that Leila could crew for John.

Because of the wind direction, the first course was given a Home2 start. It was a three lap race, taking in west white and pinky, but avoiding inlet because of the very light winds. Without an OOD there’s no evidence as to who got across the line first, but John Dabbs was in the lead for most of the first lap and then Linda Spiller overtook him at the end of the first lap. In the first lap the breeze was very gentle and progress was very slow going, but picked up quite a bit after that. Linda maintained her lead for maybe another lap and then somehow John overtook and had a clear lead by the finish, with Linda and Roger close together behind. There was a bit of confusion about exactly where the finish was, as it had been decided fairly last minute by general consensus that a H1 finish would be better than a H2 finish, without specifying exactly which side of it we should go – but all agreed that if we ignored that confusion, the order was anyway John, then Roger, then Linda.

For the second race the course was altered to take account of the change in wind direction, and thankfully the wind was reasonable by this point in the afternoon. The start was from Home 1; again a race of three laps. This time Robin Spiller helmed with Linda as crew, and David Perrett helmed with Roger as crew. John Dabbs remained as helm and Leila Farmer as crew in the other Bosun. Robin Spiller was across the start line first, with David Perrett second. Robin was in the lead for the first lap, but John managed to overtake both others and took the lead after the first lap, remaining in the lead until the finish. Robin came second, and David third.

Bosun Algae 4

Blue-green algae in the waters of Upper Tamar Lake have, for more than a month, stopped, or more recently, restricted water sports at the site. Since being allowed to take to the water again the Sailing Club has turned to its fleet of double-handed Bosuns as less likely to capsize or soak their crews. Three regular Bosun crews, Brian Pollard with Cilla Gilbert, John Dabbs with Linda Spiller and Roger Heasman with David Perrett, were joined by Adam Hilton (with Robin Spiller) in his rarely used Bosun and by Bob Sampson with Sue Murray in one of the Club’s own boats. Adding to the hazards of sailing were force 4 north-easterly winds with gusts of greater strength and variable direction. Three of the Bosuns chose to fly cut down suits of sails; only the Pollard/Gilbert and Sampson/Murray boats staying with the regular sails.

Brian Pollard got his craft over the start line first with Roger Heasman second and John Dabbs third. However Bob Sampson, last to start, soon overhauled the rest and led at the end of all four laps. Roger Heasman’s race was somewhat handicapped by coming across a very slow moving Hilton/Spiller boat rounding Inlet, having to turn away from that buoy and taking some time to get out into the main breeze again. The two big-sailed Bosuns did finish first and second but John Dabb’s Bosun with a small mainsail was only a couple of minutes behind.

Sue Murray now took over the helm of the Club Bosun and the fleet was reduced to four boats. At the first start two boats were over the line and had to be recalled. At the restart Roger Heasman got away first but couldn’t maintain the lead dropping to third at the end of the first lap, to fourth at the end of the second and having the misfortune to fall out of the boat on the fourth. He retired. Sue Murray had taken the lead before the end of lap 1 with Brian Pollard taking until the third lap to get past the smaller sailed boats and hold second place until the end.

Bosuns Blue-Green 1

Blue-green algae were supposed to be rendering the Lake dangerous to humans (although fishermen appeared to be excluded from this category. They sat moodily in the water some meters off the Inlet shore as usual. Perhaps they spent the night with the “diarrhea, nausea or vomiting; skin, eye or throat irritation; and allergic reactions or breathing difficulties” that the internet says you get from exposure to the micro beasts) so the fleet was restricted to safe double handers or Bosuns as we call them. John Dabbs had his out with Leila Farmer. Roger Heasman was sailing with David Perrett. Colin and Louise Witchell were out, Adam Hilton had recruited Geoff Floyd to crew his Bosun and Robin and Linda Spiller took out a Club boat. Very little wind was forecast but more NWN breezes were in fact present, although feeble enough for Sue Murray, the OOD, to cut the laps from four to two.

The Dabbs boat was premature and had to go back over the start line, Roger Heasman judged it better and got away towards Zebra in the lead with the Hilton/Floyd boat following. The beat across to West was fairly brisk but the wind was dropping for the next tacks up to Pinky and really fell away on the long run back to Dam Green which was lead by Hilton/Floyd with, at the buoy, Roger, Robin, and John following with Colin and Louise Witchell struggling to get their Bosun’s sails filled in the ultra light winds. They retired.

Adam Hilton threw away all his lead by messing up the turn at Dam Green and then forgetting to lower the centre plate for most of the tack to Zebra. So Roger Heasman again led with John Dabbs getting ahead of him at Middle and then extending his lead. Roger had slipped to third when an unexpected gust from an unexpected direction caused an involuntary gibe and tossed Roger into the drink (hopefully not drunk). David kept the boat the right way up and sailing, then helped his skipper back aboard. They finished a couple of minutes behind the leaders.

Bosuns Blue-Green 2

Robin Spiller was already over the line when the horn blew and when he had returned, had trouble getting going. John Dabbs and Leila Farmer led the race away and were never headed. The long tacks they took going up to Pinkie perhaps working better than the short ones the following Heasman/ Perret boat took. The Witchell Bosun, now helmed by Louise, started the second lap third but was overtaken by the Spiller boat and then got sucked into the Inlet and becalmed. The Dabbs/Farmer boat triumphed but not soon enough for Leila’s daughter whose lift to her music was late.

Bosun Algae 2

Despite the nice breeze, the morning’s Bosun racing began in doubt. The extremely low water level was to be shared with blue green algae, 60 participants of the Feeder Masters qualifier, three gig boats and a crocodile. Nevertheless the three Bosuns all left the pontoon with small sails for a fair competition. The course of six laps began with a silent start, to avoid offending the fish, with Colin and Louise crossing the line in the lead and perfectly on time. Confusion over the start resulted in Brian and Cilla having a two minute delay in crossing the start line, while John and Linda gave hot pursuit, taking the lead by West White.

Following an exciting reach back to Middle and run down to Dam Green, John and Linda were first across the line at the end of lap one, in nine minutes. Louise and Colin held onto second until their second visit of West White where Brian and Cilla overtook. For a moment it looked as if Louise and Colin might catch them with a strong run to Dam Green; however the wind dropping a little made the beat back to Home Two, while trying to avoid the Angler’s tight lines off the entrance to Inlet, quite a challenge.

John and Linda found a better breeze and at the end of lap three were four minutes ahead of Brian and Cilla in second. Louise and Colin retired on their third attempt to West White having run aground and then lost the pin in their main block.

Although overtaken by a gig on the penultimate run Brian and Cilla made good use of the increased breeze, steadily closing the gap between first and second, down to three minutes by the final lap. Despite John and Linda’s 360 buoy rounding penalty being hampered by an aerator they held on to win the race, with a lead of 2mins 23 seconds in the end.

Bosun Algae 3

Not to be put off Louise and Colin fixed their mainsail and joined the afternoon race. The morning’s course having worked well remained unchanged but for five laps in the afternoon. Having dropped off a little for lunch the wind helpfully picked up again for the second race. While John and Linda held the edge crossing the start line, Brian and Cilla had the better position, asserting their lead by the first mark. Brian and Cilla maintained the lead through the reach while John and Linda closed in on the run, rounding Dam Green just ahead.

Cilla and Brian’s decision to tack quickly and err to the Devon side was an excellent one and saw them back into first position at the end of lap one with a 30 second lead over John and Linda. Louise and Colin lost several minutes rounding a gig and completed lap one 3 minutes behind the lead. Brian and Cilla built on their lead in lap two with a perfect run increasing the gap between first and second to 40 seconds, the Devon side again providing the cleaner wind for the beat to the line.

On lap three we saw Brian and Cilla in another race against a gig, West White to Middle, which they won squarely albeit with John and Linda holding onto their tail. John and Linda fairly flew the penultimate reach closing the gap to 30 seconds. By the time the lead boat begun lap five the wind had dropped off, making the final lap longer for all of the boats. Despite the hot competition, Brian and Cilla won the race, crossing the line 44 seconds ahead for a silent finish.

Bosun Algae 1 (Plus)

John Dabbs and Linda Spiller led the Bosun race from start to finish, but the contest between the other Bosuns (Roger Heasman with David Perrett and Brian Pollard with Cilla Gilbert) was rather more ding-dong with the Heasman/Perrett boat eventually taking second place.

But on a day of seductively sailable winds coming over the western hills many helms chose their single-handers rather than getting into Bosuns.

Nathan Pollard, the Officer of the day, designed a beat for the first leg by using the Devon half of the Home 2 start line and a bunch of boats clustered at the far end of the line ready to tack across to West. Jane Anderson’s Laser Radial started first and retained the lead around the first buoy. However Bob Sampson’s second starting Laser Full soon took over the lead and retained it. The Dabbs/Spiller Bosun started third but, as with the other Bosuns, could not point as high as the single-handers and had to tack much earlier on the way to West allowing Adam Hilton (Solo) and Paul Anderson (Laser Full) to get away. The course was ingenious, involving a visit to West on the way back down the Lake as well as on the way up. This confused a number of helms and led to some retirements but the northwesterlies were quite capable of producing  capsize-inducing gusts; they contributed to retirements too.

Pursuit 1

In Pursuit races the slowest boats start first and the faster boats follow at intervals set by their handicaps and try to reach the front. The lead boat after roughly an hour’s sailing wins. In somewhat stronger winds, Vicki Duncalf’s Topper started first but was caught on lap 2 of a more conventional course with a home startline  and a trip up to Pinky via West. All three Bosuns got past her; so did Bob Sampson’s Laser. But nobody put their boat in front of Brian Pollard and Cilla Gilbert’s Bosun. Roger Heasman and Dave Perrett’s sister dinghy followed them, with Bob Sampson’s Laser getting up to third and Jane Anderson’s Radial rising from seventh at the end of lap 1 to fourth at the finish.

Barnwell 6

Nathan Pollard (Laser Full) started first and was first round Dam Green. Bob Sampson (Laser Radial) started third but was able to reach Dam Green without tacking which put him ahead of second starting Roger Heasman (with David Perrett, Bosun). Adam Hilton and Geoff Floyd had abandoned their Solos because of the high winds – force 4 and 5 gusting 6 – and started the fourth Bosun behind John Dabbs and Linda Spiller in theirs. That had been reversed by the time they went about at Dam Green, the Hilton/Floyd boat only staying ahead a short time. There were two other Bosuns in the race; Brian Pollard’s, with Cilla Gilbert, and Colin and Louise Witchell’s, which was flying a set of small sails that made it easier to handle in the winds but uncompetitive. Brian Pollard got past the Hilton/Floyd Bosun on the first lap and on the second John Dabbs got past the Heasman/Perret one only to have Roger Heasman go ahead again before the end of the lap.  The Dabbs/Spiller boat ended the race as the lead Bosun but retired because of a missed buoy.

At the front the order was reversed when Nathan Pollard capsized at West and Bob Sampson took over the lead until losing it again on lap 2. The gap between the two Lasers remained small despite the difference in sail power, Nathan Pollard, with more square meters of canvas, probably having to spill more wind than Bob Sampson. The handicaps put Sampson back ahead.

Sailboat 6

The place to be at the start was up against the leeward buoy, enabling the skipper to get to Dam Green without tacking. Consequently there was a good deal of pushing and shoving to get that coveted position, some of it not within the rules, which led to the post race retirement of Bob Sampson. Adam Hilton (Solo) was luckier and, powered by a passing gust, slipped in front of Brian Pollard’s Bosun to take the next-to-buoy position and make it to Dam Green in the lead. Following was Bob Sampson (now with a full size sail on his Laser) Brian Pollard and John Dabbs, who subsequently did a penalty turn. The Sampson Laser soon overtook the Solo and Nathan Pollard’s Laser was quickly free of the double-handers and in third place. He then got past the Solo near West on lap 3. The leaders thereafter became increasingly far apart, a minute between Sampson and Pollard at the finish, the Solo nearly four minutes back.

Robin Spiller, now with a full-size sail on his Streaker, had to make his way through the fleet after the start and did get past the sparring Bosuns only to slip back again. Geoff Floyd had put a small sail on his Solo, was already regretting it by the time he took to the water and was not competitive. The Bosuns were still changing places on the last lap and finished with John Dabbs in front, Brian Pollard twenty seconds behind and Roger Heasman another thirty seconds back.

Jane Anderson led across the line and around Dam Green and kept her Laser Radial at the front for the rest of the race. The winds were southeasterly, light and highly variable in strength and direction but never actually disappeared. Second and third to start were Sue Murray (Laser Radial) and Adam Hilton (Solo). Paul Anderson got his Laser Full past the Solo on the first lap but a muddle over course buoys put him back subsequently. There were four Bosuns in the race. John Dabbs with Linda Spiller led them at the end of each lap but Roger Heasman with David Perrett changed places with Brian Pollard and Cilla Gilbert a time or two. Colin and Louise Witchell had the misfortune to run aground – they were by no means alone in finding the bottom of an emptying Tamar Lake – and retired. Touring calmly and consistently in seventh on the water was John Buckett in his Otter and pulling himself up from sixth at the end of the first lap to fourth at the finish was Robin Spiller in his Streaker. The handicaps put him down to sixth again.

Robin Spiller (Streaker) began his race brilliantly, pulling away from the first-over-the-line Radial of Sue Murray and the third-starting Laser Full of Nathan Pollard. The Streaker was still ahead at the top of the Lake and only lost the lead having to go back to a missed Zebra. A further confusion at Dam Green meant retirement. Over lunch the winds had turned around one hundred and eighty degrees and started blowing from points around the north west. They were still very gentle and the race took even Nathan Pollard, the winner on the water and also after the handicaps were applied, nearly an hour and a quarter to complete. On the beat up to Pinkie Jane Anderson (Laser Radial) and Adam Hilton (Solo) added themselves to the leading bunch, the Laser taking over third place on the first lap and second on the second. The Solo was briefly ahead of Sue Murray, lost the place but edged past the Radial and into third place while running back towards the Dam on the second lap. The Dabbs/Spiller Bosun again led its Heasman/Perrett and Pollard/Gilbert sisters.
