DF95 Racing Today – Saturday 27th April

Results from 95s today.

Four managed 10 races in A rig on a cold day with a shifty NE breeze but no rain.

Phil 11 pts
Hugh 11 pts
Peter 18 pts
Geoffrey 27 pts

Geoffrey did however score two seconds. Phil won on count back by the fact of beating Hugh in the last race, though there was a questionable incident between the two on the finishing mark, which did not go to protest but involved windward boat (Hugh) and mark room (Hugh)!

Despite this incident the racing was mostly very close on a simple windward leeward course and mostly in a friendly spirit!!!

Saturday – Ten Raters!

Tens today at Datchet.

It was windy and none of us really had small enough rigs or with us, note to self, put the baby rigs in the car if in doubt. Graham struggled and then found a rig in his Tardis, it is some 25 years old, different era! However lack of preparation meant it was not on the pace. Nic and I had a few races, but in these conditions races with two is not really sport.
Despite no result, I think all three of us enjoyed our day. After lunch it took awhile to put the Rigi away.

Tomorrow i think we will be on the north course which is just as well as the Waszps where every where on the park, so tomorrow with club racing as well it could be a mess on the South slip!
