Six Marbleheads yesterday at Datchet in glorious sunshine, but unfortunately a very lightly easterly breeze which was not only unstable as to strength but also large shifts which both together made for very tricky conditions. Certainly a day for A-rigs! We managed 6 races before the fans turned off entirely. The results are below. Les got off to a fine start in the first race with a port tack flyer and lead on the way until the final beat when I think his nerves got to him and the wind failed him as he faded 4th. Nigel suffered from sheeting problems which hampered his results, hopefully to be sorted before the Nationals in a few weeks. Hugh had an outrageous day, winning most of them with his F6!!!
