There were only 4 entries today as some of our skippers were racing R/C yachts at away venues, and others were still on holiday.

The wind was light, so all yachts were in top suits. Initially the wind was from the SE, giving tricky conditions. The first round was completed before lunch, then at restart the wind had changed right round and blowing from the W, giving a 3 or 4 tack beat to the W end of the lake. After the first heat of round 2, the wind strength dropped almost to nil and became quite variable in direction. However, the second round was completed by 4-00 pm.

Low on numbers again….where are you all? DF65s only had three entrants so was turned into a practice session. DF95s were won by Chris Howarth

What started with a flat calm northerly wind, turned into almost perfect sailing weather during the day, resulting in C Rigs straight down the lake.
