Another good turnout for DF racing. The wind was N.Easterly ish, with the usual holes, lifts, and gusts and a coolish air temperature.
John Carlin won the first race and went on to dominate the day’s racing with a total of 6 wins and an excellent 11 point score after discards.
There was much close racing throughout the day, with a very port end biased line making for some interesting starts. These included starboard tack boats being tagged by those attempting port end flyers, and quite a bit of boat to boat contact with a couple of starts looking like a real melee.
John was followed by Clive, who had two wins and then Mike with one win and a certain amount of radio trouble, along with Neil, Alan and Charles who all suffered with some boat issues during the day.
Overall excellent racing with the overall fleet standard still improving.
Final Positions were:
- John Carlin 11 pts 6 wins
- Clive Warren 27 pts 2 wins
- Mike de St Paer 29 pts 1 win
- Neil Westbrook 31 pts 1 win
- Dave Williams 31 pts

- Frans King 45 pts
- John Beech 48 pts
- Alan Watkinson 57 pts
- Charles Legg 63 pts
- Don Mackinnon 69 pts
- Martin Whittingham-Jones 79 pts
