Another sunny Sunday with a lack of wind resulted in sailors having another early lunch, but the wind did fill in from the West to get both of the scheduled races sailed.
The Mirror fleet benefitted from a couple of new helms in the fleet, Bean with son Oliver, and new members Sandy and Douglas Simpson. Bean and Oliver had their first victory together, while Sandy struggled slightly with the Bass shifts.
There was the first capsize of the season by John Roberts (or was it Bob Gate?) in a Laser, Steve and Ruth lead the handicap fleet after tying with Ian Hall in the first race.
Mike/Kayla sailed consistently winning all F15 races over the weekend but they had some good competition from Ian/Lezli-Ann who seemed to share the mistakes between them!
Dave/Lynn found their form again to win three of the weekend’s races in their GP, but had some close competition from Mike/Eric on Saturday, while Duncan/Colin put up a good fight on Sunday.
The wind, though shifty and variable at times, was worth waiting for and topped off a successful weekend back on the water.
Can you believe it?! A week before racing starts and the wet weekend takes its toll on the lake level.
