Today saw 8 skippers turn up to the lake on a beautiful day for sailing and even though the wind was light it was there.
Neil and Malcolm shared the RO and scoring duties for the day.
The racing was close with John Carlin and Mike De St Paer having wins in races 2 and 6 after being last across the start line.
Throughout the morning wins were shared between Mike and John with the exception of race 5 when Clive held Mike at bay on a starboard tack to the finish line which was a tactic John used to beat Mike in race 7.
Throughout the morning the remaining skippers had some close racing but could not match John and Mike’s ability to read the slightly fickle Gautby Road breeze and make the most of a good start or first leg or two.
Although the racing and conditions looked OK from the bench the skippers were happy to call it a day after 8 races. So Mike ended up the winner (and with 4 wins) just one point ahead of John Carlin (on 3 wins), with Clive third sevn points adrift. 
There were then insufficient sailors for any DF95 racing after lunch today.
