Just a quick note this time to say well done to all the skippers today, Trevor Thomas sailed his Wee Nip the best of everybody although it isn't always easy to tell during the handicap system. The youngest skipper to join us so far Robert Hawkins deserves a special mention as he sailed his Dad's Wee Nip Banff very well to a fourth place missing out on third on countback to probably the oldest skipper to sail with us, John Benzing, although this is a more hotly contested honour.
PJ & I did some more "not so" very secret testing with new Footies, with which we hope to take on the world next year. Thanks to everyone who turned out and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Handicap Racing - Understanding the Table - the colours represent the start each competitor started on for that heat.
The Abington Park version of Mixed Fleet Racing consists of timed intervals between starts as follows
Red Start - goes after the one minute countdown
Yellow Start - countdown begins immediately after red and goes after another one minute countdown
Green Start - countdown begins immediately after yellow and goes after a 40 second countdown
Scratch - countdown begins immediately after green and goes after a 20 second countdown
If one competitior is left on the Red Start he becomes the Hare, should he out sail the others and finish first instead of moving to the Yellow start all the other competitors move back one start so yellows become reds, greens become yellows and scratch become greens.
