RH A warm welcome to five new members: Geoff Kite Peter Walsh John Torrance Dylan Winter and Roger Graham “...and as an added bonus, the previous owner is still stuck in the quarter berth...” 1 Boru Goes Racing Martin Hampshire SINCE moving to the South Coast I have been able to join the Lilliput Sailing Club in Poole Harbour. A friendly members club, where we all help to maintain the moorings, club house and facilities. Most of my sailing has been cruising around Poole Harbour and the bay. I set myself two targets for this year – to enter the Lilliput Club Regatta and to have a go at the Round the Island Race. The Lilliput Club Regatta LL THE YACHTS that belong to clubs in Poole Har- bour race using a handicap system specially designedA for the local conditions. So early in June I made my best estimates of Boru’s measurements and applied for a handicap rating. The provisional rating that I have been given is 0.679 without my cruising chute and 0.694 with the cruising chute. For comparison, a Shrimper is 0.632. The higher the number the faster the boat is in theory. This means that I need to beat a Shrimper by 5 minutes in a race that lasts an hour. At the club regatta there are three classes for cruisers; fast, slow and those who aren’t using their spinnakers. This third class is known as the ‘Gen- Martin & Fiona: Round the Island tleman’s Class’ and it was this class that I joined in with. The weekend of the 23rd and 24th June Trophy Charity Race, I was third on the water and proved to be fairly windy with a moderate sea state. leading on handicap until all the leading boats, my- As a result the Gentleman’s Class raced in Studland self included, rounded the wrong buoy!
