11 th August Summer Act 8

It was a beautiful day at Costa del Gorleston, another cloudless sky and a warm F2 from the NE. The beach was surprisingly empty first thing but gradually filled during the morning and was packed when we returned to shore.

12 boats enjoyed a rare four race Sunday which was almost dominated by Team Jarvis, with James taking the first two races in his OK and Paul the third in his Solution. Richard and Rosie managed to save some pride for the two-person boats taking the final race in their RS400.

Costa del Gorleston…..early morning

The tide was in full flood at the beginning of the racing so most were mindful of venturing out to the windward mark too early.  As race three started the wind veered to East and also increased a tad. The race team finished the race after lap one and quickly reset the course, hence the extra race.

It was the final Act of the Summer series which saw a change at the top with Richard & Rosie jumping up the leader board to win the series with Paul second and Nick third.

Next week is the second part of the Hopton Passage races, so remember your onboard provisions.
