Racing Results 25-Mar'26

A chilly morning and a 16kt NW greeted 8 sailors and the debate initially was "A" or "A+". After some testing "A+" was abandoned and the fleet was split between "A" and "B" rigs. The course set was M/P, Y, 2, 4, M, P, Y, 2, 4, M, P, 3/North_Pier and 10 heats were raced. There was some variability in the wind strength and direction, particularly around 2 and 4, where places could be easily gained or lost. Some of the gusts were very strong making tacking difficult and causing some broaching. Although there were some collisions, there were no breakages and all yachts returned to the jetty without the need to use Ian's canoe which he had kindly brought to serve as a safety boat. Those best able to use the conditions to their advantage today were:

1st - J Bennett (10)

2nd - I White (18)

3rd - J Richardson (23)

Well done to them and to all for some exhilarating sailing.

Best wishes,

Bruce
