A sunny afternoon but a cold wind greeted the four Club sailors sailing RG’s and John our visitor from Gresford sailing his DF65. Top suit swing rigs for the RG’s and A+ for the DF65. The wind was more or less straight down the lake with the start line set at the Clubhouse end. A shorter handicap course was set for the DF.
Bill sailing his Ivy took an early lead in the first race with Dave Charles and Alan in close contention for the lesser places. This was the pattern for all the races.
Bill was in a class of his own today clearly winning all nine races, the race for second place was extremely close with the other boats producing very very close finish positions. The handicap course for John was lengthened after the first two races and then for the final race he sailed the full course and still finished in front of the RG’s.
After the nine races it was decided to call a halt due to a weed problem slowing the boats.
