DF65 Social Racing 2022 12/10/22

Conditions could best be described as “tricky” although several other words were used during the morning. What little wind we had was very light and variable, coming mostly from the clubhouse end, so generally a southerly or South Easterly or something like that!

With 12 sailors, including a visitor from Fleetwood, Garry Benson.  Dave Williams kindly elected to act as Race Officer, whilst Neil Westbrook set up the marks for the course.

After 8 races, it was decided to call it a day, as the breeze had dropped away to almost nothing, and getting selectively becalmed was the order of the day, which made the race results a bit hit and miss.  However, the sun shone, it didn’t rain and the lake was looking very clean and clear, so we couldn’t really complain, and it was good to welcome two new members to the racing today.
