classic Vane Series A, Invader Trophy 2013

OOD  David Bell   EVENT  Classic Vane Series A  Invader  Trophy  
DATE  20-4-13  WIND NE- varying to E then W
Fine weather attracted a good turnout of some well known past championship winning boats. "Yeoman", Dick Priest’s boat was sailed by Graham Reeves; this and David Bell’s "Susie" were    the oldest boats on the water, both built in 1950 and registered about 2 weeks apart. Mervyn  Cook brought along "Trixie II", a Daniels design built in 1954 and Martin Bandey brought "Munin", a Bill Jupp design built in 1962. Graham Wyeth was sailing his recently acquired "Nyala", built in 1967, and Anthony Warren sailed "Impala" (sister ship to "Nyala") built in 1971. Finally, Alan Oxlade was sailing a Highlander replica. So to the line we had 7 boats of varying design ages
from 1950 to 1971.   

The day started with a North Easterly breeze varying to easterly halfway down the lake. This  caused quite difficult sailing conditions as at times the wind swung around to the west causing  yachts to veer off in the wrong direction. As the day progressed the wind increased and became more predictable but there was a certain amount of luck involved. Overall though, the skills of the top skippers shone through with a comfortable win for Graham Wyeth, second place to Graham  Reeves and tied third place went to Mervyn Cook and Alan Oxlade.
