ANNOUNCING A SUPPLEMENTARY WHITE SAIL EVENT - THE WACKER CHALLENGE - SATURDAY 29 AUGUST

Neal Point to Wacker (River Lyhner) and return, about 5-6nm, with time (just) for a picnic. Sailing instructions are in the sidebar. Please have a look at the SIs and consider taking part.

Any queries or suggestions for improving the event please contact Tony Head.

Event 8 is Wednesday evening 5 August. HW 2005/5.5m. Course AD.

Wind is forecast to be brisk SW. Hope you have recovered from Sunday's marathon, won't be discouraged by a fairly high probability of rain, and will venture out tomorrow.

Herewith overall points to date. ELWINGS has a bit of a lead but not much to choose between the next 7 boats. All to play for during the remaining events.

Out: Congrats to AELEA for 1st, ELWINGS for 2nd and TEMPUS F for 3rd. Only 99 seconds between them.







Return: Congrats to ELWINGS for 1st, special congrats to Martin for bringing SPARKS home in 2nd position, TEMPUS FUGIT for a consistent 3rd. Commiserations to Mick as he lost time sorting out a defect in the Wilcove area.
