HELENSBURGH Sailing Club was pleased to welcome 30 dinghies to the start line off the pier last Saturday after a virus-induced gap of almost two years, during which travelling and provision of facilities were both highly problematical.
The handicap fleet of 11 dinghies, all local, enjoyed some spectacular high speed sailing, with the son-father combination of Calum and Neil Rosie in their RS400 as winners, ahead of Calum Bell and Christine Wood in their RS200 and Craig Latimer in his Blaze. Bell and Wood pipped Latimer for second on tie-break.
There was stalwart sailing in the breezy conditions by HSC’s juniors on the smaller racetrack. Logan Brown won in his Optimist, ahead of the Toppers of Tristan Somerville and James MacPherson, though all the boys showed great sailing skill in very testing conditions.
Whilst midweek evening sailing starts to come to a close as the nights draw in, HSC will switch to its popular Autumn Series on Sundays starting in mid-September.
