Vane 36R

Only 3 entries for this due to regular competitors attending away RC events and others on holiday.

At start up time Top suits seemed appropriate, but during the first heat the wind strengthened so changes down to 2nd suits were carried out. We had no mates for the other bank, so the bye boat skipper had to try and look after both competing yachts. The wind was blowing initially from the SW, giving a long leg then some guying required going to windward. It then straightened giving a 3 or 4 leg beat. After lunch the wind strengthened again and 3rd suits were required. Due to lack of mates and athletic skippers, beats only were taken for the 2nd round.
