The first full weekend’s sailing since Bass Week took the form of a weekend series for F15s, GPs, Mirror and laser/handicap fleets. There was consistency throughout the fleets, with all series being won with three firsts in the first three races for the winning helms. In the F15s, there was a bit of a crews race in the final race, in which Tony Fisher helmed for Ian Campbell, Nick Smith crewed for Scott Beattie, and Mike Moore did his best to beat each of them, but to no avail!
Andy and Phil Smith took the opportunity to sail their first series in their 49er. However, after suffering problems with the spinnaker uphaul system on Saturday, they found that not being able to use the additional 38m2 of sail area afforded by the spinnaker was a bit of a handicap! But overall they did finish in the top half of the fleet.
