Boxing Day Bottle Race
Weather conditions reported from Heathrow Airport were:-
Temperature 37F (3C)
Wind from W (270 degrees) at 9-11mph (direction variable)
The Race Officer (Cliff Buffham) & Safety Coxswain (Huw Pearce) set a
course in the club house half of the reservoir using 5 marks, a combination of 2
fixed marks and 4 spar buoys, and a gate (start/finish) every lap. The
objective was to run an average lap race with boats being finished after 45 to
50 minutes.
A time was recorded for every boat every time they passed through the
start/finish gate, these times for interest are shown below the main results
table.
