Race Reports – Weekend of 20/21 July 2024 ….!!

Results from the weekend.


Saturday saw four 95s in a light breeze on the south course, we managed 8 races in two batches of four with a coffee break and a trim.  Geoffrey had a bad day on the water but happy to be sailing and at times the racing was very close with Phil and Hugh battling most of the day with Peter ready to snap at their heels when the opportunities arose.
Phil. 8 points and 4 wins 
Hugh 9 points with 3 wins
Peter 14 points with 1 win
Geoffrey 24 points

On Sunday we had four Marbleheads including Richard Uttley’s brand new F-6 on the water for the first time.  We again managed 8 races this time on the north course, again with four before and after coffee.  Richard Jones had an unfortunate communication glitch in the first race after coffee and this proved terminal for him which was bad news for him because although scoring four fourths before coffee was often close to the others for many of his four races.  Richard Uttley had his F-6 going very well out of the box to the extent of  scoring a bullet in race 5.  As Mr Uttley only came with a lightweight A and a B.  We all agreed on B, thought for most of the time we were a bit under powered upwind, despite the two rigs being nominally the same area.
Hugh 7 points 5 wins
Richard Uttley 11 points 1 win
Phil 12 points 2 wins
Richard Jones 26 points
