The Night Jar series resumed on a wet and windy day which was enough to put anyone off sailing. But, as the Webmaster often says, Bass has its own micro-climate and it was down to a force 3 westerly and almost sunny by the race start.
The OD chose a course with two beats. With the start boat just upwind of B, the course was 0-2-1-B. Twelve boats took to the water although Kath & Glenys had the rudder come off their GP on the way out and were extremely late starting.
At the front of the fleet the GP�s of AJ & Sue and Val & Ken were involved in a close battle and were being shadowed by Mike in his Streaker and Neil in the Radial. By the end of the second lap Val had pulled out a reasonable lead and, with the wind dropping, Lottie in her father�s Radial and Harry�s Topper took the shortened course flag.
Kath & Glenys worked hard to make up for the time lost, passing fellow GP helm Mike Cave, Jon Anson�s Radial and finally Paul�s Clark�s Radial when he tacked for the line and they continued to finish at the port end. Toggle & Joan finished third on the water to the two lead GP�s, their Asymmetric 200 seeming to loose out when going inshore to gybe on the long run to 2.
Fleet Handicap results showed Val & Ken ahead of AJ & Sue with Mike�s Streaker third. On Personal Handicap it was AJ / Sue ahead of Richard Broughton�s Solo and Neil�s Radial.
