With Storm Amy out of the way, the high pressure suppressed the wind, and the sun shone for the weekend. There was enough wind to race, but it varied in strength and direction, with a dozen boats taking to the water on Saturday.
Neil/Archie in their RS400 led both races on the water, securing a 1st and 3rd on handicap. Rory in his K1 took 2nd, and Oscar in his new Tera Pro 3rd, though Caroline in her Lightning, and Dave/Lynn in their GP were only 10/11secs behind on corrected time.
The lighter wind of the last race favoured different fleets with Dave/Lynn taking 1st, and Mike/Jack in their Graduate 2nd.
Overall, Rory has a clear lead, with Caroline 2nd.
Sunday started with a lack of wind or sunshine. Low level cloud needed to move to make a difference, but there were a few sailors happy to give it a go so the OD went out, set a small course, and let them ‘race’.
There was some zephyrs, generally from the east, but they seemed to disappear after the start! Mike/Jack in their Graduate had good speed, and had to sail two laps whilst other boats just sailed one, finishing 1st on handicap
Saskia in her Optimist made great progress, finishing 2nd on handicap almost 80secs ahead of Neil in his ILCA6, with Caroline in her Lightning another 70secs behind.
Having at least offered and attempted some racing, the OD cancelled the next race. Mike/Jack presently lead the series.
