Glasson SC Viking Raid 2010

Against all better judgement and leaving common sense firmly moored up, we set out with a suitable attired GP14 for the River Lune and as guests of Glasson Sailing Club were we joined their Viking Raid. 

A great sail in surprisingly varying conditions. We poke through the shallows and after suitable pillaging of a local hostel, a good beat home.

Anglesey Powerboat weekend 2010

Out for a quiet Sunday cruise

June 2010 saw the latest LSC Powerboat Anglesey weekend. Most of us travelled down on the Friday and as we had missed the tide got everything ready for the Saturday launch. We launched and stored at ABC Marine in Gallows Point, ?25 for the whole weekend.

We had great days out Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The weather was kind to us Saturday and Monday but wet on the Sunday. Nigel France and Steve Barlow were giving their new boats proper shake downs and really got to know them and Graham Bate  and John got some real speed out of their new engine. One point to note, there is a 5 knot speed limit all around Port Dinorwic which extends right across the Straights not just by the shores. Exceed this and you will be pulled by the harbour master.

What its all about
 

The powerboat weekend is an annual event and open to all powerboats, If your interested in joining in get in touch with Phil.
