There was not a lot of sun, but a breeze from the North East'ish was going to make this a fluky day, and so it was.

Tim the OOD and Roger B were at the lake early, and waited patiently for the breeze to settle, a course was set on the East bank and racing started early for the 12 skippers, a few missing, but we were ready to go, Some big holes in the beat made this a bit tricky but not for Roger C 30 who simple romped away. Tim H 134 got a good second and Martyn A 91 with his new Alioth got third spot and showed good speed for the first time at the club.

Pete W, 65 with another brand new Venti took control in the second race and just held off Tim H 134 to secure the win Roger B 58 took third spot with his Britpop. The tea break was called early due to one of the boats having fixable winch line problems.

Race 3 and Tim got the win with Micky boy C 46 getting the first of his two second spots, unfortunately his brain was in the wrong gear resulting in a lack of consistency during the morning.

I have to say conditions were tricky, but having said that Roger C 30 made it all look too easy with yet another of his four wins on the day, Tim notched up three wins, Pete two wins, and Micky Boy one win, Battles all thru the fleet great to watch, racing was close and conditions tricky, we lost Adrian C 80 early on with winch problems but I am sure most went home happy, and will be looking thru the results to see maybe where they could have done a touch better.

Well done to Roger Crates for the win, and thanks to all for helping put all the gear away.
