Despite the forecast of light winds, 14 skippers came to Lakeside to compete in the final round of the Sep-Oct series. The wind did build a little through the morning, but so did the prevalence of gusts and lulls. Chris set a course of 8/P, 0, 8, P, 0, 8, P, B/R which held through the morning and enabled 8 heats to be raced. There was the inevitable bunching at buoys, particularly 0 where there were frequent lulls and getting across the finish line was sometimes challenging.
Those who found the quickest way round today were:
1st - R Dyer (7)
2nd - R Brydges (18)
3rd - I White (20)
The series podium is:
1st - J Richardson (9)
2nd - C Wilson (14)
3rd - J Bennett (17)
Congratulations to them and also to all the 14 skippers who took part in the series and contributed the enjoyment of racing.
Best wishes,
Bruce
