| Ore Stone and back - Chaos | 2015-09-26 | Trial SYC "race" from Exe safe water mark, round the Teignmouth outfall buoy, round the Ore Stone and back to the Exe SWM.
A really great day's sailing. Relaxed and sunny on the downwind leg to the Ore Stone and really good sailing on the upwind leg back to the Exe SWM. The wind moved round a little to the east on the way back making (for us) a straight line sail; pretty much all the way back.
The "Chaos" in the title refers the the race's putative title - "CHase Around the Ore Stone"

| Chaos Race | 2017-09-09 | The CHase Around the Ore Stone race.
A great day's sailing. The weather forecast was fairly strong (F4 to F5 with occasional F6) and that was about right. No real sudden gusts so the winds of up to about 22 knots were fine and fun.
Unfortunately I didnt help Derek to quite the heights in the results table that he managed last year with the commodore as a more competent crew!
It was still a fast sail - fast enough that we had to potter around off the fairway buoy for a couple of hours waiting for enough tide to go back up the Exe.
Then back to Starcross Yacht Club to arrive by sea for the inaugural Starstock mini festival.
