Dinghy sailors get afloat for a second evening of races in the James Cup series Three Portsmouth sailors took part in this evening’s racing. All chose to race RNSA owned Fusions from the RN Sailing Centre. Conditions were ideal with Force 3-4 Westerly winds and High water at 2000 allowing racing to take place on a triangular course over the mud just to the west of Whale Island.

Summers evening sailing as it is supposed to be. A balmy 8-13 knots and T shirts and flip flops for the crews (though some not yet trusting the warmth to last opted for full foul weather gear.) Sunshine, the SOOD opted for a slightly more challenging course than usual of a beat to Mother Bank, a shy kite reach to Browndown followed by a gybe and a further reach to Stokes Bay Central, a beat back to Browndown and a kite reach home - with an option to shorten if the wind faded, thrown in for good measure.

This year's RNSA CTP will be held at the Sir Max Aitken Museum, Cowes on 12 August from 1900 - 2030. Tickets are £20 per person and it should be a great evening. As we did last year we will be providing a free boat transfer courtesy of Serco from Portsmouth to Cowes and back.
