Vane 36R Woods Cup 10th May 2025

Apart from the pleasant sunshine, sailing conditions were terrible, with the light breeze changing direction every few minutes, between NE and SE and sometimes there was no breeze at all. There were 8 yachts entered initially, but one had to drop out during the first heat, due to severe leakage and another dropped out after the second heat. The remaining 6 skippers decided to carry on and eventually the schedule was completed.

A great days sailing in B Rig down the lake dominated by Alan Bennett, with Peter Iles taking second, splitting up the Bennett’s

Big shout out to Eric who cleared the lake of some debris earlier in the week causing some issues. Back in the game, where was you all? 🤣. Thank you to BoB J for running the day.
