We had three Datchet members (Nigel, Craig, Jim) at Chipstead today and at the lunch break, they were lying in 1,2 and 5. Breezes light and iffy ! Sixteen entrants.
Nigel was playing blinders – race three which he won was especially amazing. As we strolled to lunch, Nigel was modestly saying “it was all luck”, but with a 1,2,1 during the morning Nigel was shaping his own luck. Really impressive 🙂
Craig was in the Proteus development boat today and walked away in race two. I think Craig did actually lap a couple of competitors. That boat couldn’t half accelerate in the lightest of puffs.
Perhaps most pleasing of all, was our Jim … sailing in the Britpop previously owned by Vernon …. was really getting going well !!
(Jim leading the fleet and ahead of Craig – rare keep-sake photo obviously – ha ha ha !!)
Such a lovely setting over at Chipstead and the people there as friendly as always. PRO, Dave, needed his sense of humour today – three general recalls!!
