After last weeks choppy conditions everyone was pleased to see a relatively flat sea. Yesterdays rain had hardened the sand making the journey from prom to shoreline much easier.
The relatively steady F3-4 NNE wind provided some excellent sailing and an enjoyable day on the water.
Preparing to race
Singlehanders made up most of the fleet and dominated the results. HW forecasted at 11.35, so still a little flood tide for race one. Carl, sailing his MiniSail won this, well ahead of Solution Richard on corrected time.
Heading to the windward mark
Virtually slack water for race two. Phantom Nick managed to hold his time, just beating Carl.
By the start of race three the tide had just started to ebb. Nick easily holding his time to take another win ahead of the Spitfire sailed by Team Ed.

Thanks to the race team of Tom, Steve & Paul.
Thought of the day – don’t miss your toestraps
