10 races sailed.
Lovely sunny spring day with a breeze filling in nicely from the clubhouse end, and once again a turnout of over 10 boats. John and Neil hotly contested first place on the day scoring equal points, John just winning by having 4 firsts compare to Neil’s 3.
Peter also scored 3 firsts which gives an idea how close the days racing was.

A lovely sunny day with a light SE wind kicking in 10 minutes before the start, just after Martin arrived on his bike to be precise! As always with light winds from the SE, plenty of shifts and holes for the 18 skippers to navigate for the 10 races.
We welcomed 3 visitors, Phil Howarth, John Berry and Howard Carver and hope they enjoyed the sailing enough to return. It was also good to welcome back Lawrence Drennan after his enforced break from sailing, well done Lawrence.
A windward leeward course of two laps with a well placed gate at the leeward end was set by Peter Baldwin, the start line was tight at times but also proved to be well placed. Early pace setters were Graham Birkett, Dave Potter, Martin Roberts and Graham Elliott, all enjoying race wins before a cuppa and a biscuit, thanks Joyce, much appreciated. The wind and the top four stayed constant after tea and all took race wins on the day along with Peter Baldwin taking race 6. Consistent sailing by Mike Parkington and Alan Watkinson must be mentioned along with some great results by fair weather sailor, Graham Birkett.
Thanks to our infamous double act of Bernie and Jack for running the show.

Light flukey winds were the order of the day and we had a visitor (Bill) from the Isle of Man who raced with a borrowed boat.
