A great turnout of 17 Skippers showed on a rather cold, grey, and wet day.
Although there were some lulls, the choice of A rigs proved to be correct as there were some chunky gusts making for quite testing racing. The wind direction allowed OD Mike St Paer set a standard windward / leeward course using the full length of the lake – a relief after the last couple of weeks of S. Westerlies blowing over the houses.
Competition was keen right from the off, with five different winners for the first five races. Conditions led to a number of collisions but with no apparent damage.
Neil Westbrook ran out the eventual winner, with five firsts beating a consistent Peter Baldwin who was unlucky to be tagged more than once near the start.
