Winds were force 2 to 3 from the east for the Hastings & St Leonards Sailing Club Laser Open, which was also part of the South Easter Laser Grand Prix. Eleven boats entered the competition although only nine were ready for the first of the four races.
Hugh Ashford, from the home club, was quick off the start line and first to the windward mark with Rupert Smith from Newhaven & Seaford SC on his tail. Ashford keep ahead until touching a mark and then Smith’s boat, leading to penalty turns that allowed Smith through and on to win.
In the second race a late arrival, Roger O’Golman from Queen Mary’s SC, joined the fleet and set the standard. O'Golman led form the start and was never seriously challenged. Racing was close in the chasing pack with second place going to the senior sailor on the course, Roy Sandford, who slipped it into the Great Grand Master category.
After a break for lunch, the pattern was resumed with O’Golman clear at the front and the rest of the fleet fighting for clean air and jostling each other around the triangle / sausage course. The club’s commodore, Andy Francis, took second.
The final race saw O’Golman delivering another lesson in exemplary light airs sailing. Rupert Smith fought hard to keep up with him but was outclassed and settled for second.
With one discard allowed, O’Golman won the competition without worrying about missing the first race. Smith was second and Melanie Clark from the home club was third. For those hoping for stronger winds and the chance to surf the waves it was not to be, but racing was close and the competition fierce for everyone sailing in O’Golman’s wake.

Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
The mast was delivered the next day what a excellent delivery service I had the mast by 0830 I now know I can count on you, well done.
The 100m reel of 4mm pre-stretched polyester rope I ordered for our Club's fleet of training dinghies is very good quality and really competitively priced. It arrived quickly so we could re-rig control-lines before the week's training course finished.
Quick to order and fast delivery, thank you. Good to have the wheel washers and retaining clips included in the package.
Cannot fault the service received. Queries responded to very quickly, thank you Jason. Very fast, efficient despatch and delivery. My son is very happy with the Aqua fleece.
Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery - ordered late Thursday evening and my order was dispatched on the Friday, delivered on the Monday (standard delivery option).
The Salopettes seem well made, good fit (per sizing guide) and comfortable. Also very lightweight - time will tell if that equates to less durable as they are definitely far thinner material than others I've had from different manufacturers in the past. I've only tried them on at home so far, so not tested them in the wet but I'm pretty confident they should do the job.
fast delivery with no problems
Ordered Zhik boots and wetsuit easily enough on-line, quick email response reviewing order, and they were despatched same day. Wetsuit is awesome, I wrongly ordered the boots size, a quick phone call, they explained what I needed to do, and they’ve changed them super quick. Didn’t miss any days sailing……..Highly recommend.
Got a set for my son who's 6' 3" and 92KG and L was way too small. Spoke to someone on the phone who was very helpful on sizing. Actually, went for a XXL in the end and he is happy with that fit so I would say these come up a bit small compared to other manufacturers although I guess you want a tight a fit as possible with hikers.
Vert happy with the service and advice. Video was helpful too.
Good quality product that was delivered very quickly
Got this top as I was looking for something which could keep me dry and warm at the same time in the best effective way possible, allowing me to have freedom of movement. All came to this top and it was definitely the right choice.
Well manufactured. Good quality product. The neoprene waist band makes sure you will be comfortable and as it stays adjusted all the time. Same thing goes to the wrist area.
Overall it is a really good product, best quality vs price I found and not disappointed.
Very speedy delivery and looks great on the Laser
Replaced easily enough. Same dimensions as the original on the boat. Works perfectly and keeps everything neat now.
I had given up all hope
Ordered gloves one evening and dispatched the following day
Very quick and efficient
Will definitely use again
