Results - Constant Cup

Eventually the first Cruiser race of the season did get underway.

Saturday 7th June

Light and somewhat fickle winds gave the crews of the six competing boats rather difficult conditions on the initial leg to Fishguard of the Constant Cup.
Boats on the inshore route fell into unexpected black holes of windless conditions and those sailing further offshore looked to have the better winds even if following a longer and more tactical course.
Cariad blasted from the start line and at one point other crews thought the next time they might see her skipper would be in the bar later in the day, however a 'doldrum' aproaching Fishguard Harbour forced an unwanted delay to her progress and with other boats almost on her heels, the wind picked up and she was able to lead the charge across the line.

Congratulations to
Cariad and her skipper - Arlandwr Jones - first to Fishguard
Islay - skippered by Tony Duckworth - 2nd
Jigsaw - skippered by Roy Constant - 3rd

The President - Harry Ashurst and his wife Joyce accompanied by the Rear Commodore Sailing - Robin Young were forced to drive to Fishguard where a very nice evening was spent in Fishguard Yacht Club with a excellent meal provided by the ladies of FYC.

Thank you Fishguard YC

The following day - planned as leg two of the event was abandoned due to light winds and the need to make the mid morning tide on return to Cardigan.

The Race then being decided on the single outward leg - winner - Cariad

Thanks to Roy Constant and his wife Betty for providing a perpetual cup for this event and Roy even managed to come third in his new boat Jigsaw

A good weekend was had by all
