XOD Wednesday Series Race 5 (26th May 2010)
Wednesday looked like a challenging day for the Race Officers when 15 X Boats struggled to get to the RLymYC Starting platform in very light winds. A postponement flag was hoisted, then a breeze could be seen coming in from the west, so it was possible to get the XODs away 40 minutes late in a good SW sea breeze with a beat to Black Rock. The front places were strongly contended with the first 5 boats finishing with under a 1 minute between them.
