Five of us at the Club House, and four of us raced. Light A-Rig conditions but a huge reminder that you don’t need a large fleet to get fantastic racing. It was always very close and honestly a couple of races were proper corkers!

We got ten races in. David was our “Mr Consistent” of the day with a bunch of second places in the breakfast session and a few firsts in the following session. But honestly, everybody had a go at the front !

Launching wasn’t as bad as I expected – I’m a bit unsteady on various gritty or slopey surfaces, so I was duty RO on the hard beach. However, having taken time to explore and experiment I can see that for the north course, it can be viable (for me anyway!) to walk the long route to the hard beach, then follow the water line along to the main club pontoons. The shore end of the jetties are a couple of metres up the slope. We were on the north course, so is an ok medium walk from the pontoons to the race area – keeps your steps up!!

Results as soon as HM publishes….
