8 of our members took part in the first DRAGONFLITE 95 TT event at Southport on Sat. With a large entry of 33 boats racing in 2 fleets our members acquitted themselves well finishing as follows:
- 4th Derek P
- 9th Tim L
- 12th Mick P
- 14th Chris C
- 22n Garry B
- 24th Anna Mc
- 26th Susan P
- 31st Mike B
Sunday saw a much reduced compliment of Fleetwood Boats with just 3 of us in a fleet of 28 DF 65’s raced all as one fleet which made the starts & the racing overall challenging to say the least. The wind was light & all sailors but 3 were using the A+ rigs. 8 long 2.5 lap races were completed by 3pm our results as follows.
- 2nd Derek P
- 23rd Mick P
- 27th Susan P
The A+ rigs really made the difference! & if you wish to race on the TT circuit they are WELL worth the £70 investment.
Full results on the dfracinguk site with great photography from Anna Mc
Also on Sunday there were 7 lasers racing on a separate course although I haven’t seen any results I do know that Shaun Holbeche from Fleetwood won & that they sailed 16 races!
