Practice race

A fantastic race in windy wavey conditions. We could only manage an apalling start 100 yds behind after we took on water just before. But we got to the windward mark mid fleet but we retired when we filled up again at the busy leward mk. Ah well thats what a practice race is for. Dave and betty finished first - and only - RSC boat.

Ready for the off

We sailed two more races of falmouth week today in strong breeze and big tides bringing our total to four wins from four... Cheeky. Peter and dawn still leading the fleet...good onya guys, go B2! Met a sailor from tenby. His local sailing tip was "if you can smell the sheep poo, head left." excellent! Kong packed and ready for the long trip tomorrow. Thanks to andrew pool for the loan of undercover. Ben

Flying with red wings

A beautiful day for the beginning of falmouth week. Two races in handicap fleets, mixing it up with the Redwings who are here in force for their nationals this week. These beautiful boats with their distinctive red sails were designed by Uffa Fox for Looe Sailing Club back in the day. For anyone wanting to see one up close, we have a brand new Redwing on display in the Museum for a couple of weeks.

Only one other firefly out to test our speed (Peter & Dawn Langdon) but Kong was flying today. Still waiting for the results
