DF65 Social Racing 2022 #20 (18/5/22)

10 sailors arrived to warm weather and sunshine, but again some very flukey wind conditions at Gautby Road lake.

Sailing skills and tempers were tested as the wind circled round the lake in mostly unpredictable directions, with both lulls and gusts, meaning close attention to the trim of the A+ sail rigs was paramount at all times.

Conditions made for very close racing as the points testify. With thanks to John Carlin and Mike de St Paer for acting as Race Officers, frequently needing eagle eyes to judge the close places at the finish line.
