25.06.09 - Report from the Leader Open meeting at Hickling Broad, kindly supplied by Tricia Hudson

Leader Open at HBSC on June 13^th /14^th 2009

The Leader fleet at Hickling Broad Sailing Club is growing. For the first time in many years club boats out number the visitors for the annual picnic race down to Potter Heigham on Saturday and racing on the broad on Sunday. The journey down to Potter was taxing with several tacking duels going on and many changes of places. The race was eventually won by Chris Wharmby from Milton Keynes Sailing Club crewed by Ann Hobson a club member. Several motor cruisers and day launches were treated to the colourful sight of nine Leaders many with spinnakers flying running up the Thurne heading back towards the Broad in the afternoon. Light winds in Candle Dyke caught some boats out but enabled Tricia Hudson and Sarah Cole to pull ahead to finish with a comfortable lead. Several other club boats accompanied the leaders on the picnic race to and from Potter Heigham and the overall winner of that fleet was Jim Windley in his Wayfarer.  
The predicted light winds on Sunday never materialised. Instead racers where treated to a good blast across the Broad with the brisk wind claiming three victims who capsized in the second race of the morning.
