REPORT - Brass Monkey #1 - Sunday 6 June 2010
Report by Peter Metcalfe.

Another perfect Midlands winters day at Midmar with a light N/NE wind of 4 to 6 knots for the first of two medium distance races in the Brass Monkey Series.
Five boats entered and was great to see the Changuion family on the startline on Hunter Essex Girl(s), Peter Goble / Rose Hamilton on L20 El Viente, Marius van Vuuren / Eric on Hunter Quiki, Anton Ellens on the Miracle and Rob Bell / Peter Metcalfe on Hunter Solitaire (yes, that makes it 3 weeks in a row for Mr. Bell after a 5 year layoff – has the bug bitten again!)
Race Officer Roger Eshmade set the course from a Jetty start to # 1, # 2, # 4, # C, # 6 and Jetty finish.
The wind swung to North and was a clear port bias. Rob Bell was 10 secs early and had to go around which saw Peter / Rose get away followed by Anton and The Essex Girls. A fluky beat up to # 1 saw Essex Girls take the lead followed by El Viente, Miracle and Solitaire with Quiki bring up the rear.
El Viente peeled away home as Peter had to milk his cows, but great to see him on the startline.
Bags up and a run to # 2 and then down to # 4 saw Paul / Essex Girls keep the lead followed by Solitaire, Miracle and Quiki. A beat up to # C followed by a fetch to # 6 and a short beat to the Jetty finish saw the positions stay the same.
Line honours as follows, with Anton in with a good shout on handicap on the Miracle
1. 1h10min06s Essex Girls
2. 1hr 15m57s Solitaire
3. 1hr17m0s Miracle
4. 1hr26m34s Quiki
Thanks again to Roger for the Race Officer duties and Race # 2 is on Sunday 13th June, briefing 13h30
