Bembridge Illusion St George s Day, Woodford Long Distance Race and Bill s Barrel by Mike Samuelson 3 May 07:08 BST 1-2 May 2021
Saturday, the penultimate day of racing of the 2020-2021 Illusion season was a frustrating one! The forecast was for light cyclonic conditions and that was exactly what was delivered!
Having made the decision to remain in the harbour to reduce interference with BHYC s racing, the race officers then spent the best part of an hour chasing the breeze as it went round all points of the compass with the 16 Illusions dutifully following the Committee Boat round the harbour (avoiding the Border Force mega RIB that had run aground just inside the harbour entrance!) However a start was eventually achieved when the breeze looked to have settled in from the North East.
