We wait a little longer

The plan was to get Warrior home this weekend but once again the weather is not on our side and Warrior must wait alone in Plymouth. We need the boat home next weekend as the racing starts the following weekend (Sat 27th April).

Looks like more favourable weather next weekend (Sat 20th April).

 

All going well we will be home in time for the start of season RIYC Spring Coaching Regatta on the 27th and 28th April. This is organised by the Royal Irish Yacht Club supported by the Dublin Bay Sailing Club. Starting with a skipper and tactician briefing at 8.30am on the Saturday (27th) there will be a number of practice starts (10.25) followed by two practive races (11:30 and 12:30). The first race of the season then starts at 14:00. There is a video debrief at 17:00. I hope we will not have embarrassed ourselves ! Sunday then starts again with briefing at 9:30 followed by a downwind slalom at 11:25 and two more practive races at 12:30 and 13:30 with the Video debrief again at 15:30.

The White Sails pre-Season briefing is next Wed at 8pm in the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire.

So it is all starting to become real.

Update 14 April 14:00 - Lucky we didn't go this weekend - latest Met forecast for today is Storm Force 10
