DF65 Sep-Oct 2022 Series Final Results

The final race in the Sep-Oct series was heralded by rain, but not the strong winds which were forecast. A course of O-R/W,8,O-B,O-R,W,8,O-B,O-R,W,5/8 was laid, but after a couple of heats the gusts kicked in and many skippers changed to "A" or "B" rigs. The rain stopped and the sun shone, but the gusts kept coming. J Smith's bung came out in heat 4 leading to in the inevitable ingress of water and inability to start the last 5 heats.


9 heats were held and the top three were J Bennett (002), J Richardson (43) and R Brydges (33).

The series podium is J Bennett (002), J Richardson (43) and C Wilson (06).


Congratulations to them and to all those who took part.


Race 1 of the Nov-Dec series next week.


Best wishes,

Bruce
