Reflecting on the season as a whole, it has been a contrasting tale. While the racing was frustrating and, at times, exasperating, the cruising was delightful in generally warm weather.
Turning to the former, the main source of frustration was the lack of structural integrity of the mainsail, one of Ullman's finest, which spent more time in the loft being repaired than it did on the boat. On the start line of the first ISORA, we noticed a foot-long tear and retired. During the Douglas to Dun Laoghaire race, we conducted further repairs to a different tear, at sea. At the end of the IRC Nationals in Pwllheli, it ripped from luff to leach (I groaned) and then a week later, after a further visit to a sailmakers, it ripped again, but in a different place (this time I laughed out loud). It has been a difficult relationship. First the sail was delivered in 2012 with the wrong track fittings - so it didn't. Then, after a couple of weeks on the boat, the leach started to delaminate, necessitating a return to the manufacturer. The 2013 season was relatively trouble free and the sail worked well, however, there were already worrying signs of wear and tear. In fact, rather more tear than the wear might warrant. The rest as they say is history.
After a long hard look in the mirror this season, we have concluded:
We need to have a full (dedicated) crew to be successful round the cans (we only had 5 onboard for the Nationals and could not always fly the kite). Additional weight on the windward rail would also be helpful during the offshore races.
The boat is faster with the weight (60m of chain and 25 kg anchor) taken out of the bow.
This makes mixing cruising and racing increasingly difficult.
We need new sails and they will not be coming from Ullman

A New Start
After one of the wildest winters anyone can remember with 2 hurricanes and several severe storms, Pipedreamer VI is back in Holyhead. We were relatively sheltered in Victoria Dock, but still suffered some superficial damage from contact with the boat next to us, presumably during the worst of the weather.
On 29 Mar we made our way up to Port Dinorwic for a lift and pressure wash, before sailing round to Holyhead the following day. The weather was kind for both trips and the journeys and jobs were carried out in good time. Unfortunately the same could not be said of the following weekend when we again lifted the boat, this time to get her weighed. The weather was wet and windy, hardly conducive to any form of waterborne activity. Nevertheless, with the help of Eifion Owen, the local RORC measurer, we completed the task and now wait to see if our efforts will be rewarded with a drop in our handicap. Either way it has been an interesting exercise - it took the best part of a week to empty the boat - making one realise how much superfluous kit finds its way onto the boat, adding to its weight. Of course, there is a balance to be struck, a compromise to be made, between the requirements of cruising and those of racing. After all Pipedreamer VI is a cruiser/racer!? Perhaps this is a new start.

2013 - Part 2
20 Jul. Party onboard for a circumnavigation of Anglesey, via Maltraeth, Caernarfon (overnight) and Cemaes - 77 miles in great weather.
2 Aug. The plan had been to pop down to Kinsale (185 NM) to support the Holyhead Sailing Club Squibs sailing in the Irish National Championships. Unfortunately, the wind in Holyhead was F7-8 so departure was delayed. 3 Aug. Wind only F5-7, so off we set. Sadly, as well as being strong, the wind was also in the wrong direction and after beating to windward for the best part of 28 hours, we flopped into Kilmore Quay. Kinsale was another 70 miles or so, which would have meant arriving in time to turn round for the return trip and missing all the racing, as well as probably facing a beat most of the way home!! We elected to have a sleep, a pint and some more sleep, before setting off at 0430 to catch the tide north through St George's Channel. After an unpromising and wet start, we had a great sail home and were back in 18 hours, almost all under sail except when we were playing with the Irish Coastguard helicopter.
8/9 Aug. Family charter, which took us both south and north of Anglesey. The original plan to anchor in Rhosneigr was foiled by a fresh S'ly breeze and associated swell.
16 and 18 Aug. Circumnavigation of Anglesey, via Rhoscolyn, where we dropped the girls, and Caernarfon (2 nights to avoid strong winds).
21 Aug. Positioning Dun Laoghaire for race to Pwllheli - departed 1430, arrived 0200.
22 Aug. The start was a spinnaker reach in light NW'ly. We stayed with the Js inside Kish Bank and were still with them at Codling where there were some spectacular overfalls caused by the spring tide. Having gybed after Codling, we started to fall back a little with the light wind being knocked from our sails by the swell. We just made it to Bardsey Sound before the tide turned and were almost through when the wind died completely..........we spent the next 6 hours stuck under St Tudwalls, before finishing at 05:13!! We carried on sailing and were back in Holyhead 12 hours later.
1 Sep once more saw us setting off round the Island - this time stopping at Menai Bridge to sample the delights of Dylan's restaurant. Having been through the swellies, the following morning, we were a little late for Caernarfon Bar and the wind against tide conditions made the passage more interesting than you would wish, but nontheless manageable.
6 Sep. Two-handed delivery for Pwllheli to Dun Laoghaire race, the last ISORA of the season.
7 Sep. Spring tides and wind forecast to be W F6 backing SW 3-5. The course was start to finish with no intervening marks. We made a good start and were up with the leaders into Bardsey Sound, where the wind against tide conditions became increasingly extreme and then we entered the overfalls.......all pretty predictable really, but the 4m breaking waves did make for an exciting passage! However, with the excitement behind us, we were still well up with the leaders, with everything to play for and so it remained as we beat to windward with the wind and tide slowly taking us round to our desired course. At one point it looked as though we would make it, but alas, we were either too slow or unable to point high enough, or a combination of the 2 and we finished being pushed by the incoming tide and having to work our way south against it, losing a couple of places in the process. The results can be found on the ISORA website. In the meantime we have the winter to consider how we are ever going to sail to our (rather too large) handicap!
8 Sep. Back to Holyhead .....and the drawing board?
28 Sep. Delivery to Caernarfon for the winter in glorious weather once again. 2013 summer over?

2013 Season
A summer at last! The season has been pretty busy - hence the lack of posts - we covered a little over 2100 nautical miles, split evenly between cruising and racing.
Pre-season included replacing all the standing rigging and guard rails and then a full survey for coding. We also took the opportunity to scrub the bottom, but left antifouling to the planned summer lift out. So it was, with a clean bottom and shiny new standing rigging, that we delivered Pipedreamer to Holyhead on 30 Mar.
The early part of the season included 3 charters. The first was boat handling for some prospective Yachtmasters. The second was a family day trip to Rhosneigr. The third was noteworthy as it was the first time Pipedreamer had played host to international guests - from Russia with love!
3 May saw us positioning Pipedreamer in Dun Laoghaire for our first ISORA. The delivery was a beat into a force 6, but we arrived in good time. The race itself was to be a drag race to Holyhead via the M2 buoy. The wind was still W F6, which meant a reach to start followed by a run. We were first over the start line and stayed high on the wind in the hope of gaining an angle to fly the new asymmetric later on the leg. The Js held a much lower course and flew their spinnakers from the start, with varying degrees of success. Our tactic appeared to be working to start, but then a series or errors compounded to push us back through the fleet. Despite the true wind gusting to 30kts, we had gained sufficient of an angle to fly the new spinnaker and were making good speed downwind. However, a change over on the helm led to an accidental gybe, which nearly put a member of the crew overboard. Consequently, the next 20 minutes were sailed very conservatively and we lost ground to the fleet. The second error resulted from a misplotted waypoint on a handheld being used by some of the crew! So, despite the skipper's protestations to the contrary, the crew maintained a course to the wrong waypoint!! By the time we had found the correct waypoint (M2) we had sailed at least a mile further than the rest of the fleet. Finally, adding insult to injury, we flew the spinnaker from the top of the mast for a good 10 minutes when the sheet escaped overboard! That said, we were still in sight of the leaders at the finish - a marked improvement on the same race last year.
The next ISORA for us was 19 May, Douglas to Dun Laoghaire, with a party in Douglas on the Sat evening. So, to make it in time we set off from Holyhead at 2030 Fri night, aiming for HW Douglas at 0530, and were tied up alongside by 0700. Unfortunately, the new Lopolight Tri-colour was not working, which meant a trip to the top of the mast where the absence of anything untoward led to the conclusion that the light itself was faulty, which indeed turned out to be the case. The party was excellent, but the race that followed proved to be a real test of stamina and perseverance for the 3 on board. The winds were very light and variable and the 80 miles took 21 hours. After a couple of
hours kip, we were back sailing, heading for Holyhead, which we made by 1830, Mon, 20 May.
The 21/22 May saw a circumnavigation of Anglesey with friends, just beating the NNW gale on 23 May.
24 May and it was another overnight trip to the Isle of Man. This time it was for the TT practice sessions. Light and variable winds meant a lot of motoring, but there was a spectacular sunrise by way of compensation. The TT itself was great. I had not been before and I was impressed by the atmosphere as much as by the incredible speeds achieved by the bikes. We had a quick day sail on 26 May and took the opportunity to put some more fuel on board. This proved just as well as our return journey (again overnight) involved a good deal of motoring, after we discovered a rigging problem on the starboard intermediate shroud. We were back in Holyhead by 1430 on 28 May.
The following weekend comprised a circumnavigation of the Island via Rhoscolyn (overnight), Porth Dinllaen, the Swellies and Moelfre (overnight), in near perfect conditions.
After anti fouling, the next big race was the Lyver Trophy from Holyhead to Howth, via a virtual mark down by Bardsey Island. This was another overnighter! Again there were only 3 of us on board and, if truth were told, I think we were getting tired by the end. This resulted in a reluctance to swap spinnakers at the end of the race which probably cost us a place or 2.

ISORA
The first 2 ISORA races could at best be described as a learning experience or, indeed character building. Those less relaxed about these things might say they were bewilderingly frustrating as we languished at the back of the pack with one apparent disaster following hard on the heels of another.
The Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead race saw us make a couple of tactical errors at the start followed by at least 2 hours spent tantalisingly close to the M2 buoy, but stuck against a fickle wind and foul tide, unable to round the mark.
The Conwy to Howth race was to be a straight downwind blast, having first worked upwind to the West Constable buoy. Progress to windward was relatively slow and we were almost the last boat to round the mark, but with the prospect of a downwind sleigh ride, which would benefit our longer waterline length, all was not lost. The spinnaker went up at Point Lynas and we flew downwind. Until, that is, there was a resounding thud and the halyard parted. The wind was strong enough to keep most of the sail out of the water until the crew could recover it, with only minor damage. No matter, there was a second halyard. About an hour later, with repairs made, the second halyard was used to hoist the spinnaker and we were off again. Now, of course, lightning never strikes twice....... But about an hour west of the Skerries there was a repeat thud and the spinnaker was down again. Clearly, we had a major problem (and no more spinnaker halyards). We limped over the finish line - last - and returned straight back to Holyhead to lick our wounds. To add insult to injury, no sooner had we fixed what we surmised was the problem with the spinnaker (spectacles), than the prop fell off and we were forced to miss the next race in Pwllheli altogether.
As luck would have it, this proved (with hindsight!) to be the turning point in the season. With the prop gone, we were forced to make a decision that had been pending (for lack of funds) for a while and a new folding prop was fitted as the replacement.
The Dun Laoghaire to Pwllheli race started promisingly enough and we were second to the first mark, the Muglins lighthouse, having avoided the melee towards the right-hand end of the line. However, we soon found ourselves stopped in a 'hole' with no wind and foul tide and there we remained for a couple of hours as we watched some of the lighter boats crawling their way up the coast, out of the worst of the tide. When we eventually made it to the Moulditch buoy, we were again towards the back of the fleet, but still had boats around us. Better yet, we were able to match their speed on the reach to Bardsey Sound and our tactic of staying to windward and making allowance for when the tide again turned foul (as we entered the sound) paid dividends and we overtook a couple of boats. However, we now paid for our early slow pace as we plugged the tide in a failing breeze and then ghosted our way up to Pwllheli, crossing the line well after midnight. But there was cause for celebration - we were not last!
The Pwllheli day race confirmed our improved performance, if it also demonstrated our lack of light wind options and, ultimately, pace. Although, we were not able to compete with the J109s, particularly to windward, we had a most interesting tussle in the middle of the fleet.
So to the last ISORA race of the season. Yahtzee have already written an account on the ISORA website news page(http://isora.org/?page_id=125), which strikes a resonant chord with our experience of the season. For the first time we were in sight of the leaders as they crossed the line. We were fourth boat to finish (though we dropped 3 places on handicap). We beat a J109 on the water. But, perhaps more importantly, we made it to the bar long before it closed!

A New Main - A New Dawn?
With aspirations of moving up through the Club racing field and possibly entering the ISORA for the 2012 season, the decision was taken way back in the autumn to replace the 'well used' cruising main with something that might just swing the balance between lift and drag in favour of lift. Three days before the first ISORA (and a month late, having replaced the mast track fittings that didn't) the new 'racing' main was fitted to instant acclaim as we cruised round the cans in the lead. Truly a new dawn. This view was enhanced when we beat a local rival in the subsequent Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead ISORA (we came last and second to last, respectively). However, since then, some of the other Club boats have started racing and cruising round the cans in the lead has become a distant memory! Of more concern though, is the fact that the 'main' has been returned to the manufacturers after we found it to be delaminating at the leech. Sadly then, it seems this was a false dawn for our racing Pipedreamers.

New Season
We finally departed our winter refuge in Victoria Dock during the last week in march and made our way up to Port Dinorwic for a wash, scrub and coding survey, before moving on to the Isle of Man for Easter. Good Friday saw us making the Swellies a little late, but otherwise we made good time and were in Douglas for early evening. After a minor misunderstanding on the radio between our Ancient Mariner and the harbourmaster we tied up alongside the correct wall to wait for the gate and were in the Marina in time for a quick pint.
Waiting for the tide on Sat morning allowed 2 of the crew to shop for Manx kippers, before we drifted north towards Laxey and then headed south to spend the night in Port St Mary. It was party night in the sailing club and the pub, but we managed to negotiate the ladder back down to the boat unscathed and departed for Anglesey as soon as the tide would allow. We made such good time on the journey south that the ebb tide did not have time to take its full effect and we passed just to the east of the Skerries hard on the s'westerly wind and straight into Holyhead, pausing only to let the Jonathan Swift in first.
The following day should have been a charter day, but the wind was less kind than the skipper and the charter was rearranged!
