DF95 Winter Series 1 30/11

Today was a race officers nightmare….. Mark standing in as RO for thirst hour helping Bob set the course. Bob stepping back from races after Race 4 to help the scores.

A reachy start and a sort of zig zag course to get some beats in making for some very difficult, tactical sailing.

A great turnout with a few absentees watching football or at the AGM 14 yachts hitting the water with a variety of hull colours brightening up the lake.

Racing was good and the fleet continues to develop so credit to everyone.

8 race winners across 12 races shows the level of competition developing

Ian Sinclair, banana number 11 sailed consistently through the day to take the victory with 24 points ahead of Terry Reed also performing well.

Peter Guest in third making up the podium, being pushed by Ian H

Notable performance by Paul Fishwick in fifth (banana 19), who finished an impressive fifth and is proof that practice is paying off.

Peter W and Sharons yacht seem to manage find each other no matter where they were on the lake. Rob J sailing in B Rig (00), let’s not talk about “why” Nice to see Garry back on the water!
