Another great DF65 turnout today with 14 skippers ready to sail, including new member Paul Plested who has acquired Martin Whittingham-Jones boat. Welcome Paul!
Conditions were, as usual, very shifty with wind blowing from the houses and not much breeze near the clubhouse top corner – and not really much anywhere else either for that matter. It did look as if it might fill in from time to time but this never really happened.
Racing was very keen right from the start on the usual course format, with Paul Little dong an immediate horizon job.
The next three races had three more different winners, until in race five Neil won his second race on the way to winning the day with three wins and nine points winning on countback from Mike dsp with only two wins. Close racing.
Elsewhere on the results sheet the points didn’t tell the whole story, with much very close racing, and many skippers going from being completely down the pan to good results and vice-versa.
Thanks again to Dave Williams for sorting out the average points and doing the results which finished as below;
- Neil Westbrook 9 pts 3 wins
- Mike de St Paer 9 pts 2 wins
- Clive Warren 19 pts 1 win
- Andrew Potter 21 pts
- Alan Watkinson 22 pts 1 win
- Dave Williams 28 pts
- Paul Plested 34 pts
- Paul LIttle 35 pts 1 win
- Frans King 44 pts 1 3rd
- Malcolm Harvey 44pts
- Simon Bates 45 pts 1 x 4th
- Charles Legg 45 pts
- John Beech 56 pts
- Dave Howard 65 pts
