Another lovely sunny late spring day – ideal for gardeners, but not much use for sailors. A very light and variable South to South East whisper of a breeze started the days racing, with 13 sailors choosing the A Plus Rig. Dave Williams as Race Officer set a full and sometimes challenging course for the fleet, when reading the wind shifts, even off the start line, proved to be the hardest part of the day.
We managed 10 races, with some sailors giving up early in the difficult conditions, but as seems frequent with Birkenhead lake, as the day progressed, the wind filled and steadied, and we ended the day with glorious weather and a steady breeze, and a 2 lap race to finish.
