A visitor once commented, 'you’ve lost your N flag at PD'. Well the last Saturday of the Icicle series saw top end of a F5+ promising to increase during the afternoon and a tricky decision to race or not. Fortunately half an hour before the scheduled start time the wind eased and tide turned and the water flattened.
Russell Venning showing the way home in his Laser 2000 and with Chris Hogan out of action 2,000’ above sea level in Italy, Russell took the series in the Handicap Class with Tom Jowett of Llandudno SC well deservedly taking the Topper honours with 2 wins.
This was the first ever Icicle Series held at the club with 27 boats from 8 clubs taking part. The event looks set to take its place on the North Wales sailing calendar.
