Tay Waste Water Winter Series at Royal Tay Yacht Club


Author: Marjory Knowles

This year a new format of two shorter races, each about forty minutes, was tried for the Tay Waste Water Winter Series held at Royal Tay Yacht Club each Sunday from the 22nd October to the 9th December. Over thirty dinghies including an encouraging number of Cadets have taken part in a wide range of boats and also a wide range of experience.

Dinghies varied from Hurricane 5.9s to Toppers, Topazs and Marine Tutors and were divided into two
classes. Conditions over the eight weeks varied giving some good sailing with unfortunately some days the wind disappearing or gusting over thirty knots thus curtailing the sailing. In the end eleven of the sixteen scheluded races were sailed with close competition in both classes with
eight to count for the overalls. On average twenty plus dinghies took to the water each Sunday in the varying conditions.

The organisers are grateful to the Sponsors who included N.O.S.W.A. and Catchment Tay for their help.
