WOSC 8 Hour Race 2017
The WOSC annual 8 Hour Race took place on Sunday 27th September. For those members who have not competed in the race or not spectated, I will attempt to give you a flavour of what you have missed. Read about it here.
Les and Graham win!
14:56:17 on Sunday 25 May 2014 was the time at which Les and Graham finished the second race of the day. To the great surprise, nay amazement, of many it was in fact the winning time. After the RO had checked, rechecked and checked his calculations once again it was announced that Les and Graham were indeed the winners of the race. In fact the RO spent so much time performing his calculations that the last race was started late. Read about it here.
Alexander and the Handbrake
See Alexander's great starts and the magnificent Wayfarer Handbrake demonstrated by Les and Graham. Read about it here.
Shock! Horror! Wayfarer using tired old rags beats Albacore with brand new sails (made by dyslexic sailmaker) on the water
On Sunday Richard and Tom stormed round the lake proving that "Flat is Fast".
Unique homework resource
A correspondent has written to inform me that this humble website is proving to be an invaluable resource for school homework in numerous subjects.
Read more...Les and Graham unable to sail
Les and Graham were unable to sail on 30 September, which was a beautiful day.
Les was nursing a nasty face wound received at Stockport when he was bitten by an angry dog. Graham says there are a lot of dogs in Stockport.
Graham, on the other hand had problems with his plumbing. Les reckons it's Graham's age!
Check out latest pictures
Check out the latest pictures which include: OK Worlds in Denmark, WOSC 8 Hour Race and Sunday 29 July when Les and Graham flew the flag (and the Police turned up).
For future reference Les, as any vexillologist will tell you, the easy way to know if the Union Flag is the correct way up is to look for the fimbriation of the ordinaries. If the fimbriation is below the saltire in the upper hoist canton, then the flag is being flown correctly.
Caption Competition 08 February 2014
Caption Competition
This week Tony sent me the picture above suggesting that it might be a good subject for a caption competition. On the other hand it might be an attempt at getting free publicity for his great website which can be found here.
I have to agree that it is a good idea, and in order to give you a bit of fun I have decided to run the competition via this web site. If the competition is a success I will repeat the exercise at a later date.
Entries will be accepted until midnight on 28th February. The judge will be Naomi, whose decision will be final. If there is a prize, and there may be one if the quality of entries merits one, I will bring it to WOSC on 2nd March. If the winner is one of my readers from the Antipodes, then I am sorry, but you won't receive a prize as it is likely to be perishible and edible!
You can enter as many times as you like and a selection of the best entries will be featured on the website.
If you wish to enter the competition the template can be found here.
Tony's suggestion of a caption is paraphrased below. You can consider this to be Tony's first entry.
