What's New
25.06.09 - Report from the Leader Open meeting at Hickling Broad, kindly supplied by Tricia Hudson
Leader Open at HBSC on June 13th /14th 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. 2nd Peter Dearnley and Jack Sheldrake / Eileen Wallace HBSC 3rd Andy Hobson and Robbie Hobson/ Ruth Hobson HBSC
