WSCRA
HYPOTENUSE SERIES
WSCRA (West Solent Cruiser Racing
Association) held their annual Hypotenuse mini racing series last week
end made up of a triangle of three races from the Western Solent to
Cherbourg, Cherbourg to St Vaast and the final return race on the
Sunday, St Vaast to Home. A fleet of 14 yachts from Lymington Town
Sailing Club, Royal Lymington Yacht Club and Royal Solent Yacht Club
based in Yarmouth Isle of Wight were split into two fleets. Class 1
racing under IRC and Class 2 WSCRA Club handicap. The first race
commenced at the Bridge Buoy in the Needles fairway at 1700hrs on
Thursday morning in a healthy breeze of 12to 14 knots. Unfortunately
this breeze did not hold up and by mid afternoon the majority of the
fleet had to turn on their engines to ensure an arrival in Cherbourg in
time to find an open restaurant. Two boats managed to finish, which is a
credit to their sailing skills and the patience of the crews. In class 1
Keith Passmore s Walk on By completed to achieve a first and Barry
Dutton’s Juggler took over 14 hours to be the only finisher in Class 2.
Friday
lunchtime saw the fleet reforming in light airs at the western entrance
to Cherbourg for the race to St Vaast. Tactics varied seeing the fleet
split between those going offshore for wind and those staying inshore to
catch the favourable tidal back eddies. At the last mark, Le Equet
Cardinal before running for home it was difficult to detect who had
taken the favourable course. Richard Pierrepoint in his Elan, Moon
easily led Class 1 completing in an elapsed time of 4.44hrs but in Class
2 racing was much closer with Richard Jenner’s Contessa 28 winning in an
elapsed time of 5 an a half hours right on the heels of Pat Stables
Goggle Eye who was second in Class 1.
The fleet
had a rest day on Saturday in St Vaast where it met up with the crews of
12 yachts from the Lymington Town Sailing Club who were on a mini
cruise. An excellent BBQ was joined by all on the sea wall where the
merits of racing v cruising were discussed and debated until the early
hours.
On Sunday
the fleets again assemble of St Vaast for an early start. Winds were
again very light and within the first hour most crews were debating the
options of when they would have to turn on the engine if they were to
have the tide with them for the Hurst Narrows. Fortunately the example
set by one or two boats that went inshore for the early turn of the tide
allowed the start boat who was allowed to start 5 minutes after the
fleet to demonstrate that the wind was coming up. The day turned into a
perfect days race sailing with winds up to 16 knots most of the way
home. The two brief periods of fog were offset by some excellent fetches
and close-hauled spinnaker flying up to the finish off the Needles. An
excellent race where all but one boat finished.
