Saturday started off with clear blue skies, but by the afternoon the clouds had moved in and removed any benefit of the sunshine in the cold NE breeze which filled in just in time for racing.
There being just one asymmetric boat sailed by Neil/Archie, it raced in the MJ series, and led the fleet in both races ahead of Dave/Lynn in their GP. Val/Ken launched their GP in time for the second race, and had some good racing with Dave/Lynn, finishing just a few seconds behind.
On handicap, Dave/Lynn won both races to lead the series, with Rory taking two 3rds, lying 2nd overall.
Sunday’s conditions were similar, cold, overcast, and a light F2 from the north. The fleet of five boats stayed relatively close together with less than two minutes between 1st and last. Paul in a Laser led the fleet across the finish line, but on handicap the honours went to Dave L in a Radial. with Mike F in a Streaker 2nd.
After lunch break the wind freshened, Chris in a RS300, despite numerous capsizes, persevered to finish the course. Dave L was 1st across the line, with Toggle in his Solo 2nd, and Mike F 3rd, with corrected times reaffirming the finish order. Dave L leads the series
