Month: May 2012

The 2012 SailEast series got off to a cracking start, in perfect conditions 26 boats came to the start line. In Class One Holding Pattern came out the blocks very quickly securing two bullets on Saturday and she was followed closely by Inn Spirit and Booty!. Inn Spirit was sporting her two new Dolphin headsails, she had opted for the D4 Aramid membrane for the No 1 and the XTech tri radial for the No 3.   On Sunday with the winds slightly lighter Inn Spirit reigned supreme, with Holding Pattern and Booty again filling the other podium positions. 

 

Holding Patterns great set of results gave her the overall victory for the weekend.

 

The fleet now have a long break until the 15^th July when they will meet again for round 2 during the Felixstowe Regatta.  

Congratulation to ‘Resting Goose’ a Jeanneau 49 DS for winning 5 out of 6 races in her class during Antigua Sailing Week. This great series of results won her the distinction of being the top British boat. ‘Resting Goose’ is fitted with a full inventory of Dolphin sails. 

Also having great week was ‘Zig Zag’, an Oyster 82, she is sailing with a suit of DYS Dyneema radial designed sail. She comfortably held off competition from ‘Starry Night’ a custom Oyster 82. 

With the British weather being so unpredictable it is important to get the right protection from the rain and sun. We have just fitted this great all in one stackpack and boom awning to a J120. It takes just a few minutes to set the awning up, which when not in use is neatly stowed in the side of the stackpack. The cover has been made using the great new fabric WeatherMax80
