DF65 Social Racing 2023 18/1/23

Just for a change, a good A suit wind blowing straight down the lake. With ten sailors it was decided each person would drop out and RO. Racing started with John Carlin showing the way with a string of three wins and two seconds, but then Mike got into gear and finished with three wins in a row pushing John into second place.  The pair took nine race wins between them with Malcolm taking the other after a very tight race with Richard and John. Richard and Clive were also battling it out with just one point between them at the finish.

  1. Mike de St Paer              8 pts 6 wins
  2. John Carlin                     12 pts 3 wins
  3. Richard Walker             22 pts
  4. Clive Warren                  23 pts
