DF95 Social Racing – 3/1/26

The DF95 fleet were greeted by a gusty NNW wind and very chilly temperatures which didn’t seem too inviting.
After a short discussion a it was decided a B rig would be best and these proved to be the case. Malcolm offered to be race officer and after a short delay got the racing off quickly managing to run 7 races in just over an hour.
With just a small fleet the racing and finishing was still very close with positions being lost and gained right up until the finish with spectacular starting techniques due to the wind coming from all directions.
Andy Merns got off to a flying start taking a first in the first race.
In the following races boats made large gains and losses as the wind continued to produce random gusts down the lake.
The final result gave John C the win, with Andy second, then Steve and Stuart competing for 3rd and 4th
Thanks to Malcolm managing a good mornings racing and supplying the results and a few photos.
