With a 10 degree swing in temperature from Friday it was time to put a second layer of clothing on for the 6 competitors today. The wind was from the top end of the lake straight down the middle and middle of top suit.
Unfortunately John Brierley had been partying with his family the night before to celebrate his Birthday and when he turned up and plugged in the winch did not respond so he stayed and helped out instead of sailing.
Peter Baldwin, sailing his new BritPOP! for the first time was quick out of the blocks and scored a Turkey of wins, strangely enough he also did this in races 8-10 to take his total to 6 wins on the day. Placings swapped about quickly on the water due to some nice shifts and the whole fleet was very compact in nearly all 12 races. Other race winners were Martin Roberts with 3 wins sailing his newly developed Vanilla design and Graham Elliott sailing a chartered Vickers V9 with 3 wins.
The results reflect how close the racing was today with only 9 points separating the top 4 boats.
- Peter Baldwin 63 Britpop ! 18 pts 6 wins
- Martin Roberts 22 Vanilla 23 pts 3 wins
- Graham Elliott 66 V9 25 pts 3 wins
- Bill Culshaw 121 Britpop! 27 pts
- Neil Westbrook 03 Widget 48 pts
Many thanks to Dave Williams for starting, finishing and scoring and Jack for making the tea.
