DF65'ers Heats 11th August'21

View from the cockpit: 10 boats with skippers turn out to race. JB set a double triangle

(blunted*), starting from "Zero" mark/#1, taking in 5 and 'Arrow's Orange' buoy inshore of 8, downwind to zero then 1(*the blunt end), to finish through the 8-AO's transit line. After four heats, the virtual blunt triangle was flattened to a rectangle, replacing 5 with 8 for both laps. As the breeze got up following the break, the racing gathered in pace and intensity.

Good show to the morning's top three: 1st Place - JB on the helm of #002, 2nd Place - CS with #162, and 3rd Place - RD sailing #94.
