With not a Red score (DNS or DNF) in 5 races Sean Wiseman’s J27 – Jellybaby – is showing that consistency wins the day.
Five races have been sailed and Jellybaby boasts 2 bullets and 3 third places with one discard to be on 8 points, followed by Nemesis with one bullet and two seconds on 11 points.
Saturday’s race was sailed on a long course with harbour start, leaving the PE Safewater mark to Port, the Nqura Safewater mark to Port, back to the PE Safewater mark to Starboard and a harbour finish. Fairly consistent South west winds ranging between 10 and 16 knots made for interesting sailing with the fleet managing to carry spinnakers out the PE Port and down to Nqura for a long beat back to PE.
Jellybaby, with Andrew Ward at the helm, managed to make up lots of time after electing to sail straight past the last turning mark and along the coastline before tacking for the Port Entrance – sometimes a considered flyer does pay off.
Many newbies were onboard various yachts – all credit to Mark Dawson for keeping the flag flying as we adjust our sails to concentrate even more on sailing.

The Scimitar Cup was sailed on Saturday afternoon 3 February 2018 in a steady South East breeze of around 12 knots. The course was a windward leeward laid along the beachfront with the top mark almost in line with the Shark Rock Pier and bottom mark out from the Port of Port Elizabeth western wall.
Two races were sailed of around 45 minutes each with Jellybaby as the most improved yacht in the second race.

The annual Scimitar Cup Regatta was sailed this past weekend – 30 and 31 January 2016.
The 10 strong fleet managed two races on Saturday afternoon and one on Sunday.
Saturday’s races were sailed in a decent 15 knot South Easter with the start off of Shark Rock Pier, a beat up to the Bell Buoy and a run down to the start/gate – twice around for the first race and once around for the second. Most yachts opted for the inshore beat towards Bird Rock (casting anxious eyes for devils reef on the way) a single tack and to Bell Buoy. Those with smaller hanging appendages tacked before the Devils Reef area and hinge tacked later.
Sunday dawned with no wind and a huge sea mist. Racing was postponed to 12 midday and yachts began leaving the marina from 11h00. Great fun was had by all as we groped towards each other in the visibility that was sometimes down to 50 metres. We quickly got an understanding of just how disorientating sailing blind can be.
In a clearing mist the fleet started the only race of the day – two rounds with finish in the run.
Greta one design sailing took place between Jellybaby and J-Sea (crewed with sailing school youth). Started at the favoured committee boat end Jellybaby pushed the fleet up until tacking away and heading for Bird Rock with J-Sea hot on her heels. Nemesis went deep towards the beach and came charging out a bit early. Overstepping the mark somewhat Jellbaby tacked ahead of J-Sea who also went a bit early. A great beat up to the windward mark saw Jellybaby pull ahead and round with a gybe set. A little confusion on getting the spinnaker up saw J-Sea pull up next to Jellybaby on the inside of the course.
With the mist still obscuring the committee boat and turning pin the race was always going to be about which boat was going to be on the right course for the downwind turn. With 100 metres to go Jellybaby was spot on and again had a small hassle getting the spinnaker down and away as they turned for the final beat. J-Sea overshot the mark and lost valuable ground which they never caught up again.
With a 1, 2, 1 scorecard Jellybaby pipped Nemesis to win overall. Nemesis won the second smaller distance race on Saturday leading Jellybaby by 52 seconds on corrected time.
Some hapless fellow only succeeded in ‘smoking’ his meat at the bring ‘n braai on Saturday – which was enjoyed by crew and supporters. Thank you to Tony for the course layouts, to Nemesis and Sea-Esta for helping lay the marks and Harry for making Lady available as the committee boat.

Dear Sir
Thank you for letting us sail your boat in the above race. The race results do not give a true reflection of our sail. Bearing in mind that we sailed short-hand,never-the-less we had a fantastic sail. A great beat to the rounding mark (Bell buoy), and vow the spinnaker release and setting was perfect for the run home – you would have been awe struck.
Whilst you have strong sheets and halyards, they are somewhat thin, you could have made sure there was sailing gloves on-board as the smell of burning skin permeated the cockpit regularly.
Given our handicap we were “eating” into the fleet and closing fast on the 3 in front of us, we were confident we could take this race. Tikalox 2 and Spirite of Sprite made tactical errors by sailing too deep, which meant we had the opportunity to cut in front of them. Our plan, given our tight line, was to gibe when we reached the break water and sail on a broad reach to the finish line with the bag up. Unfortunately in executing the manoeuvre the spinnaker had a mind of itself and thought it was on a roller-furler system and wrapped around the forestay. This resulted in us having to head into the wind and talk the spinnaker to free herself, costing us valuable race time and position – you may need to speak to this sail.
Our troubles weren’t over yet, and hence this letter to you.
After crossing the finish line, and in attempt to keep-out of the race officer’s way, under foresail, we sailed inside of the marina breakwater back to moorings. Big mistake. A mooring line (part of a vacant “Trot”) happened to be in our path. Imagine our humiliation when we hooked it. This resulted in me having to get my “Gucci” sailing boots full of water as well as getting wet to my arm-pits.
Anyway we averted having Jellybaby taking up new moorings, as you would have had to ask John Lockhead to row you out to visit your boat!
All in all we had a good day on the water
Many Thanks
Wanna-be Volvo Ocean racer
