National Series 6 – Carsington
The second National Indicator Event for 2016 Squads and Jeanette’s “Launch For Life” Cancer Research fundraiser, there were men in pink everywhere and lots of mums who usually don’t venture onto the water as the safety crew, my mum included … until she felt sea sick on a lake!
Saturday dawned bright and sunny with a forecast of 10 gusting 13. Accommodation for the weekend was a camping cabin that was only 5 minutes from the sailing club so a short drive to the club was followed by rigging, registration and fundraising activities.
Sunday was wet and breezy with a forecast of 15 gusting 20 with the rain clearing away during the day. We sailed 6 races over the weekend and I finished in the top 120 so slightly lower than I would have wanted but my results are beginning to become more consistent instead of being spread out across the board so an improvement overall.
We also raised £1400 for Cancer Research.
