The 17 sailors who turned up this week were greeted by a light a fickle wind from a SSW/SW direction. Race Officer Richard Walker aided by Neil and Peter set a course of a single windward/leeward lap using most of the lake length. This typically gave at least one windward(ish) leg , although that could be in either direction. Peter Baldwin set off with a good initial setup for the conditions, winning the first two races. There were then different winners in the next four races with Richard Robinson, John Carlin, Neil Westbrook and Alan Watkinson all having their time at the front of the fleet. Peter then managed wins in races seven and eight (2 laps) to take the overall win. He was pushed to the very end by Richard Robinson in second and consistent Mike De St Paer in third.
Thanks to Richard for running the racing today, assisted by both the race leaders and latterly by Bernie at the finish. There were some very close and fast finishes as the wind often swung and increased to create a fast downwind finish for over half of the fleet.
