What a weekend we just had! Our inaugural OTB entrance in Sail Peninsula was a great success, albeit with less entrants than we hoped for. Fifteen boats entered including three 420s from outside our club. We were extremely grateful to these three, for if you don't have boats from other clubs it's not a regatta, it's just another club race. That said, the entries we did have all enjoyed some great sailing on both days.
 
Saturday dawned bright and shiny but with not a hint of wind at all. With the Keelboats due to start at 10.30 and nothing but glass, the old AP flag went up for a bit. Eventually enough breeze filled in to get them away and then it was our turn. RO Lou Hutton set a nice short course into the southerly wind that soon turned northeast, then west, dropped out, picked up, swung the other way, did a little jig and finally fizzed to about 3 knots. Lou and Super D jumped into one of the RHIBs, shot over to the bottom mark and shortened the race to there. Even in the light wind, the A Class cats still managed to get up on foils, amazing. The result in Div 2, Di J by a whole leg. She said it was luck.... sure it was.

Sail Peninsula 2026 

**********   OTB ENTRIES CLOSE MONDAY 16TH FEBRUARY   **********
**********   KEELBOAT ENTRIES CLOSE THURSDAY 19THTH FEBRUARY   **********
 
Sail Peninsula 2026 is shaping up to be one cracking weekend — but here’s the truth of it: none of it happens without boats on the water.
This regatta is for sailors, friends and all – something for everyone - come and join in the fun.
The racing, the camaraderie, the stories at the bar afterwards — it all starts with you entering and turning up on the start line. So, if you’ve been sitting on the fence… this is your nudge. Rally the crew, dust off the sails and get your entry in. The more boats we have, the better the racing, the better the buzz, and the better the weekend for everyone.
And once you’re back on shore? That’s where Sail Peninsula really comes into its own.

Howdy gang.

Well, this is becoming a bit monotonous, isn't it? Another wild blowout on Sunday, bracketed by great sailing weather on Saturday and Monday. What's really irking me at the moment is that the BOM are getting it spot on with their seven-day forecast, meaning that rather than living in hope all week then being crushed on Sunday morning, now I get to be miserable for the whole week! It's enough to drive a man to drink, or golf (not sure which is worse, one is an unhealthy outlet and the other is a good way to spoil a nice walk. If you don't agree, you obviously haven't seen me play golf!)

Back to Sunday. Cancelling racing for the day is not something done on a whim, or because the race team don't want to get wet. The phone calls start early and the apps are consulted, but in the end its eyewitness accounts of the sea state at Safety Beach that count. The RO is generally at the club early and it's only after due consultation that I send out the 'Be prepared' text. Then a lot more soul searching happens before the ' Pull the plug' message goes out. Unfortunately, Sunday was one of those days. I was at the Club around 1.30 with the only OTBers left. Ross and Luke M along with Garry were holding up the bar (try golf guys), and the view out the window was nasty. Impressively, 5 keelboats had braved the elements and watching them tack around the near mark (about where our course would be) vindicated the decision to cancel, as they were heeled over to the max.

On a brighter note, the forecast for this Sunday is looking excellent! And with Rick P overseas, James T on a RHIB and Fiona M and Di J off at a Sabre event at Somers, I might even have a chance at a podium finish. There I go, living in hope again!

Thanks to the would have been race team last week, RO Gregg L and Super D were ready to go, with Matt W, Abbey E, Scott and Ryan Mc and Luke M waiting with bated breath.

This week is Club Championship race 5,6 and 7, maybe even 8, so get your groove on and be there. Geoff and Super D will be running the show with James T, Simon H, Mark L and an as yet to be determined person manning the RHIBs. It will be a hoot for sure, see you there.

Cheers for now, Pete Chippy
