EMSWORTH SLIPPER SC's SLIPPER SHIVERI forgoed my club race on Sunday for an opportunity to race somewhere new and meet some new and old friends, which is always enjoyable. Nice to meet Tom and Hugh Kennedy again, a couple of the keenest of the 12 or so RS Aeros at Emsworth, Slipper and Thorney.
Whilst I know Emsworth well I have never raced in that part of Chichester harbour and it was certainly both interesting and challenging. Early on it was questionable whether there would be a race but fortunately the breeze steadily moderated.
The pursuit race became a challenge to catch a 2000 on the reaches and keep ahead of the fast approaching Musto Skiff. A lovely day out and always nice to see 'how others do it' and the turkey soup after racing was great!
Come and give this one a go next year!
