13 skippers turned up for R4 of the M&S DF95 TT R4 event at Datchet RS. The winds were very light from just south of west so there was some delay in getting started but a course was set to the north of the clubhouse around 11:00 and racing got underway. The first race was an indicator for the final positions with Nigel Barrow 1st, Dorian Crease 2nd, and Colin Honour 3rd.
11 more races were run in shifty conditions with a fair amount of course changing. Thanks to Hugh McAdoo in the dinghy and the finishing team of Debbie La Roche and Ralph Wilkinson.
There are now 3 events to go in the series, Gosport, Chipstead, and Eastbourne.
Ready to go this weekend??
