A cool northerly breeze greeted the 12 Dragonforce 65 competitors on Wednesday. “A” rigs were used and a gap in the lakeside puddles found to set a diagonal course towards the far corner of the lake.

Eight races sailed in gusty conditions on the “tree side” of the lake. Despite the Met Office “Strong Wind Warning” for the area, all were using top suits and hanging on through the gusts.

Nine sailors arrived to find a flat calm lake but very slight wind. One was unable to withstand the pressure of sailing in light winds and opted to be Race Officer! (Dave W)

A short course was set and one race held. A decision was made to have a cup of tea and to see what happened with the wind. Thirty minutes later a course was set away from the clubhouse and 7 more races were held with slightly more wind available.
