A completely glass-like lake greeted the sailors in the morning, however, after an hour of postponement the first race begun. With everyone on the water (eventually) there was good close racing and after a few laps the positions seemed to have settled down with Brian and Yvonne Mumford (4047) drifting off into the lead.
Another visitor arrived during the first race and was ready for the afternoon races which were thankfully greeted with a bit more wind. Both afternoon races had good close racing throughout with a few wind shifts that split the fleet at times. Both races were won by Neal Gibson and Keith Macey (4040) with the positions behind fought for.
A huge thanks to Andy Gibson for being race officer along with all the other club members who were down helping out and supporting. A good day was had by all even through the showers.
