Mass start at Looe
THE attraction in Looe Bay last Saturday was the June Cup Race. Wind conditions were stronger than recent races, coming from the North West. All the fleet gathered for a mass start from the Committee Boat, moored out in the bay.
One Redwing, that of Peter Kinver managed to pass too close to the Committee boat at the start with his crew, cousin Arthur out on the wire, who managed to get hooked up in the fishing rods on the boat and was promptly dumped in the drink. We won't ask where the hooks went!
Results: Redwing - 1st Bud Coote & Tim Jackman; 2nd Ben Crabb & John Crabb; 3rd Colin Crabb & Dominic Lozyinski.
