League 3 Race 3 – 13th May 2026 Race Cancelled

Wednesday 13th May brought strong and gusty Northeast winds for League 3 Race 3.

Turnout was extremely low — only Shake & Bake and SULA were around the harbour. However, it turned out Shake & Bake had swapped sailing for golf that day, leaving SULA as the only boat ready to race.

As acting OOD, the decision was an easy one. With just one boat on the water, there was no proper race to be had. SULA needs some competition to make it worthwhile!

That’s now the second cancelled race in League 3 this season. Hopefully Saturday brings better numbers and more favourable conditions.

Fingers crossed for a better turnout next time! ⛵

League 3 Race 2 – 6th May 2026 Another Light Wind Battle

Wednesday 6th May delivered League 3 Race 2 in light southerly winds — the second light-wind race in a row this season.

The Race Officer set a South Course 1, but with the breeze fading and the tide strengthening, the course was shortened before reaching mark Y. Boats rounded A, then Y, and headed straight for the finish.

Shake & Bake and SULA managed to cross the line just before the strong tide really kicked in. Behind us, Oscar and Jumeau found it tough going, while Certa Cito and Awol unfortunately couldn’t finish within the time limit after battling the tide.

It was a tricky evening with patchy wind and a powerful current making life difficult, but another good result for SULA and some valuable points on the board.

Hoping for a bit more consistent breeze next time out! ⛵
