Moths - The Nightmare on Helm Street - and the leeward mark

The Moth scene at the National grows and grows. The Bank Holiday weekend saw the NYC organize another special event...with another name culled from John Chamber's wit...."The Nightmare on Helm Street".

Saturday was about as windy as Moths can manage so we saw all the crash and burn variants you could possibly expect, plus a few. And more fly-bys of the committee boat than seemed sensible. One or twice there it felt sensible to duck.

As regards results, Rory Fitz was clearly fastest around the course on the day, but he missed a race or two so we'll have to see where it all came out.

Speed of the day, that we know of, went to Annalise Murphy with 29.3 knots. Dismount of the day went to Neil O'Toole, although the damage to his mainsail makes it rather less than perfectly amusing.

Other than that, the flybys were impressive.
