With a load of members camping on site it was hoped that the number of boats racing in this round of the Night Jar would increase. �But, apart from Banter�s Skiff, it was the Thursday regulars who made up the fleet.
Stephen and family were in charge on this cold evening with a medium strength SW wind. �A long course was set, 0-A-B-4-1 with B moved to just beyond the port pin of the start line.
Dave & Lynn in the GP led off the line but it wasn�t long before Phil hurtled by � only to skew off course when rounding B to starboard and let the GP briefly take the lead back. �Neil was sailing well in the laser and was ahead of Tony�s Solo.
Val & Ken�s GP was well up early on as was John�s Laser but the former crew had all sorts of problems reading the wind and dropped right back while the latter capsized at B and, despite two safety boats standing by, the helm took a while to right it and head for the jetties.
Most managed 3 laps with only the final four boats being shortened. �Then it was back to a busy clubhouse and the meal prepared this week by Alison & Martin Overend
