Erith Yacht Club Racing Results 2010
Brass Monkey Series Race 8
Again we were able to use the Laser Keels for the 4th Day's racing in the Brass Monkey Series. Course was from a line just above the moorings round one of the barge moorings off Erith Town to port and back. The critical choice seemed to be how far out into the flood tide to go on the beat up.

Brass Monkey Series Race 9
Crew and Helmsman swapped places for the second race. Learning from the first race and standing furthes out into the tide, choice now was when to tack to avoid overstanding the mark

Brass Monkey Series Race 6
For the 3rd days racing in the Brass Monkey series we were again able to borrow the LNS Laser Keels to run a one design race. Course was a down river start round the EYC moorings then a beat across the river to a buoy on the Essex shore. It was another close fought race although sadly a couple of boats were disadvantaged by gear failures (or possibly poor knot tying)

Brass Monkey Series Race 3
Due to an clash with a Training Course on Saturday 30th January 2010 we were unable to use the Club's Bosun Fleet as planned. Fortuitously however we were able to borrow 2 of the Laser Stratos Keels belonging to the London Nautical school which were on station and hold a one design race after all. Unfortunately due to halyard problems one boat missed the first race but there was a close fought contest between the other three

After a lunch (and warm up) break ashore crews were back on the water for the final race of the day. The light wind and strengthing ebb made reaching the top mark something of a challenge!
