October has arrived, together with the aftermath of the stateside tropical storms which was probably the reason for the lack of keen participants, so the start of the October Saturday series will have to wait another week.
The winds had eased for Sunday racing, and 15 boats took to the water.
There were no capsizes but Abby fell out of her Tera! Oscar sailed well in his Tera Sport holding off the Pros for the first lap but slipped back, regaining a place on the final beat.
Dave/Lynn in a GP led the rest of the fleet holding off Banter/Rory in their RS200.
After lunch the fleet was somewhat reduced. The gusts enabled good planing conditions, but tight reaches proved challenging as the whether, or how long, kites should be flown.
Val/Ken lead on fleet handicap, followed by Graduates of Mike/Jack, and Chris/Chloe, but on personal handicap, Oscar leads, with Archie 2nd , and Val/Ken 3rd
