After careful considerable it was decided to skip the trip to Hopton and sail extended windward leeward courses instead.
Eleven boats joined in with all bar one singlehanders.
Phantom Mark led race one from start to finish with D-One Steve in hot pursuit. D-One Adrian managed to close the gap after lap two. On the final lap, Solution Richard, Contender Phil and Laser Harry made best use of the light winds nearly catching Steve at the line.
Sailing gets the seal of approval
Race two, Mark led again this time followed by Phil. These two opened up a good lead on the rest of the fleet resulting in an extra lap for them. After lap one less than a minute separated the next four boats with Solution Richard just ahead of Contender Darell and Laser Michael just ahead of Vareo Richard. On the final lap, Solution Richard managed to pull ahead of the others but now followed by Vareo Richard.
The colourful sight of beach huts and spinnakers
A slightly reduced fleet for the final race. Mark once again leading the fleet round the course taking line honours again. Eleven seconds separated the next four boats led by Contender Phil. After lap two Contender Phil has opened up a small lead on the group with Laser Harry just ahead of the others. On the final lap, Solution Richard managed to slip pass Harry to cross the line third.
On corrected times Richard and Harry shared race wins with Harry winning race one and race three.
Big thanks to the race team, especially Sarah and Ed who stepped in to help.
Next week sees the start of the Autumn series – my, how time flies.
