Wow what a fabulous day for radio racing , small fleet but perfect conditions, it was freezing first thing when you were leaving home, but by 10 am with the course set by our lone race officer Rob , with of course many helping hands, we were ready to go on the South bank, slightly hampered by only one useable jetty, the course was great, with two long beats and a shorter one to the finish. We started with seven skippers, but one of our number was having problems with his car and decided to get home while he could and left us at coffee break. hope you got home Alan .

Rob W 365 was off the mark and took the win in race one and Mick C 46 and Dave R 180 in second and third , fortunes were reversed in race two with Mike W 76 popping up in third, Peter C 110 missed a couple races dealing with a new dingy for his other club, but to be fair he was struggling from the start. Mick C 46 just seemed to have the edge in the speed department but was not always on re the shifts, and Rob was always there to take advantage, to be fair the racing was very close, and after a few adjustments on Dave’s boat he found his form in the last three races, 8 long races were completed giving everybody a couple of discards, fantastic racing using A + rigs with good humour on the bank with Mike’s dog ” Morgan” taking a liking to some skippers shoes , In the end Mick C 46 took the morning result from Rob W 365 and Dave R 180, I would just add that 3 of our skippers were away at an open meeting, and lets just hope they had as much fun as we did at the farm

Many thanks to all who helped out and made for a very nice Sunday morning’s racing. Looking at the calendar, it appears there is one more round to this series , but as I write I am not sure and this will need clarification.
