A good turnout of 11 boats with classic Birkenhead conditions prevailing with the wind slightly off the houses and people wondering whether to start with an “A” rig or a “C” rig in the gusty conditions. Several rig changes ensued before the start, with everyone but Roger opting for an “A” rig setup. Roger hedged his bets with a “B” rig – a decision he soon regretted!
