17 boats turned up to race with the wind threatening to increase during the day. The wind direction from the south east and A rig was chosen to be used. As racing progressed the wind increased in strength and altered in direction, this caused the wind to become very shifty with big gusts and areas of no wind. The direction was now from over the clubhouse and at times coming down vertically and going in all directions with many boats turning into submarines on the downwind legs.
When the scores were finally added up, it was all very close at the top with only 5 points separating the first four boats. Thanks to RO Simon Bates who managed to give us 10 races in the difficult conditions.
