Welsh Schools Championship, July 3: Results are now available for this event and, as expected, the Saundersfoot contingent did well. In the Topper event, James North came fourth and Lucy Berridge, a relative newcomer to competitive sailing, was placed a very creditable 19th out of 32 entrants. In the Laser event, Govan Berridge matched the points total of the eventual winner, but lost out on the tie-breaking count back. Inter-Club Race v Tenby Sailing Club, July 9: This was the first head-to-head event with our near neighbours for many a long year, and promises to develop into a hotly contested series. There were 17 entrants - 11 from Saundersfoot. Many thanks to Tenby SC for hosting the event, which was run off Monkstone Point, and for providing one of their famous barbecues. Thanks are also due to the Saundersfoot SC volunteers on safety patrol duty. It is always unwise to volunteer for anything - the demand is insatiable and you just get noticed. More volunteers or perhaps the same ones are required for the return leg, to be hosted by Saundersfoot SC on July 23, starting at 3 pm. The event seemed to be enjoyed by everyone who took part. After the first leg, Tenby SC lead by 121 points to 123 (in sailing races, the less points you collect, the better you are). According to our roving reporter (Ancient Mariner was away singing in Ireland), Nick and Govan Berridge won one race each and others chipped in with useful placings. Saundersfoot SC's reigning club champion, Paul Griffiths, got noticed for all the wrong reasons. Starting on a port tack is a bold manouevre because all other competitors have to keep out of your way. Done well, it is a brilliant tactic, done badly, it is a mess. Paul launched himself into a port start just as his boom came adrift, causing predictable chaos and a fair amount of nautical abuse - not for delicate ears.
