There were 7 entries for the above event. The forecasted wind direction was SE and there was hardly a ripple on the lake at start time. However we started on time and made the best of these tricky conditions. Three heats were sailed by lunch time but by about 3-30 pm the lake was flat calm after completing one board of heat 6. As Olly Murray hadn’t dropped a single point, including taking the run from 2nd place Derek Priestley in Heat 6, even if Derek could win the beat back he would still be 1 point behind Olly and Heat 7 was Derek’s bye. It was therefore decided to declare Olly the winner and stop racing at that point.

Thanks are due to Bob Jolly for manning the Mates’ Bank, along with the bye boat skipper.
