Buoy locations at Bridlington Lake

[Pete Barrow]

Hi all
I agree that the course should be as near to Naviga length as poss.
However the triangle course is not needed.
We agreed some time ago to run the M course.

Happy christmas to every one.

So which option are you voting for Pete?

Having had further thought to this issue I think that the main concern is with the hydro 2 class. These boats are getting bigger and to get two of them around the bends has been difficult even with the original course, with many accidents. So for this reason I would prefer at least 10 metres at the ends. I am with Paul Upton-Taylor in as much as no clear comparison can be achieved by a non-compliant course with Naviga perimeter length. Keep the course as it was originally laid out by Ian and George.

Seasons greetings to all.

I think 10mtr at each end would be ok

I have added what should be the last diagram to my original post in this topic. It shows the course as it would be if it was laid out as per the markings on the lake side. These were kindly taken by Ian Phillips and George Roberts recently, so thanks for doing that in “brass monkey” weather. You will notice that’s this layout has 9mt clearance from the bank sides.

The peripheral length of this circuit is 173.59mts.

One puzzle is if you compare this circuit to the one taken from the Google Maps ariel view (which I am told by David Harvey is from the 2018 Nationals), you will see that they are rather different. I can’t explain this.

Hi
Just a idea I was thinking of doing at our lake was to make up a triangle Fram from scaffold poles with loops at the ends and dragging it into position.

That’s a similar way they sort the bouy positions at moers in Germany. The pontoon is fastened to the bank made from scaffolding. Then everything else is attached to this. So the track never changes

Voting will close at midnight on Friday the 24^th of January.

Please post on the forum the number of your preferred choice from the list below.

Num	Description	Length	Bank Clearance
1	Naviga peripheral distance with 9mt bank clearance	167.124	9
2	Naviga peripheral distance with 10mt bank clearance	167.124	10
3	Naviga peripheral distance with 12mt bank clearance	167.124	12
4	Original layout as per bank side marks	173.59	9
5	Positions as per 2018 Nationals from Google Maps image	152.768	14
6	Naviga width. Shorter straights. 10mt bank clearance	155.124	10
