Racing Results 15-Apr'26

Many thanks to Roger for providing today's details.


A capricious and at times overpowering southerly greeted a small and select gathering of six skippers. The early persistent drizzle thankfully stopped persisting before the first race. The start line was set between the “Yellow Cross” laid mark and the small Yellow buoy. This gave a good beat to the Pink buoy after which it was downwind back to Yellow Cross and then a reach to 1 before another beat to Pink. Then downwind to Yellow Cross before a short reach to Yellow and then a final beat to the finish between Mustard and Pink. There were plenty of opportunities to give places away on the beat that kept everyone on their toes. Nine races were sailed without the need to change the course at any point! An enjoyable morning was had by all.


Top 3 today were:


1st - J Richardson (14)

2nd - C Wilson (14)

3rd - R Brydges (17)


Best wishes,

Bruce
