The summer solstice on Saturday brought warm winds with the threat of rain. Twelve sailors were competing for the MJM trophy. The F2 southerly backed to SSW through the afternoon as it increased towards F3.
The starts were tight, but declared clear by the OD. Neil/Rory in their F15 led both races, and the bulk of the others were well bunched. On handicap, AJ/Sue in their GP with Neil/Rory 2nd, then Nigel/Glynis in a GP, and Paul in ILCA 6.
In the next race, despite spinnaker problems, Neil/Rory won, followed by AJ/Sue, then Neil and Archie, both in ILCA 6s.
Following the overnight thunderstorms, the wind had picked up as forecast, and only two sailors turned up but opted not to go out, so racing was cancelled for the day.
