SATURDAY
The Jim Rose Bowl got of to a pretty wild start on Saturday. Whit horses rolling down the lake leading to B Rigs being put on. True fleetwood.
11 boats competing, one dropout on the start line Mark (Alioth) as he managed to pull the pot out as the tape went on. Sharon started the racing but unfortunately developed a hull crack.
The sailing was competitive with Olly taking the early winch until a wonky winch derailed his day.
This allowed Peter Guest with his Vision the opportunity to take advantage taking the win and Rnd 1 sailing very well in wild wins. a special mention to Harry, ever improving and taking a second place. Paul Middleton sailing his Alternative making up his podium with consistent sailing

Saturday 8th November 2025 Forester Trophy Vane 36R
A record entry for our Club Racing series was received with 9 yachts taking part. The wind was classic Fleetwood conditions from the West and moderate strength, so most yachts were in their 2nd suits of sails. Unfortunately we were again short of mates, so the bye boat skipper and other skippers helped each other to ensure that both banks of the lake had sufficient cover.
After about 4 heats the wind strength reduced so some skippers changed their rigs to top suits of sails. After 6 heats the light was fading so just important resails were taken so that a race winner could be decided. As some skippers had not had a bye, results were given as % of possible points sailed for.
