  • Extracts from a J/24'S Experiences of Cowes Week…. “And the Course For
    Extracts from a J/24’s experiences of Cowes Week…. By William Lack, Vinyl Solutions – GBR 4067 “And the course for IRC class 7, starting at 11.50hrs, is as follows…. 3K to port, 3S to starboard, 3E to port, 3P to starboard, 2R to port, 3F to port, and finish at the Squadron Line.” Decipher that!! With ten minutes to go before our start I was crouched down below, checking the course, which then had to be drawn onto a waterproof chart which we velcroed to the bulkhead in the cockpit. Cowes Week Radio was doing their race commentary which had to be listened to. Which side shall we tie the spinnaker for the first downwind leg? Where did that chinagraph pencil roll too? Don’t forget to tack me !! Helmsman, son Simon, trimmer (Simon’s brother in law) Ian, spinnaker trimmer, daughter Emma and foredeck guru (Emma’s former sailing companion) Brendan, were throwing Vinyl Solutions about, tacking from side to side to get the best position, and generally tying themselves, and me, in knots. The courses, at Cowes Week are only read out on VHF, and only twice, and, only ten minutes before your start, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the reading will inevitably be interrupted with “ready about” or “here are the spinnaker sheets” or “can I have my spray top” or “where did you say the windward mark is?”. And, of course, it was blowing a nice steady 20 knots which was responsible for a few additional bruises. Oh, the joys of yacht racing in a J24 !! And this was day one of a promised, seven!! Simon and Emma had decided, in the autumn of 2012, that as 2013 was to be Simon’s 30 th year on planet Earth, and as I have been around twice as long, that we should make an effort to sail together at Cowes Week.
