Wow what a fantastic mornings racing, 15 skippers on the start line, which started on the East bank but after one race we moved to the South bank , A few changes in boats sailed and you can see most , but Tim was racing his New Brit Pop that he will be racing in the Worlds in Australia in a couple of months alongside fellow skipper Rob Wilson, Tim H 134 was trying out his rigs as it was first time out but the boat showed a lot of promise, A welcome back to the fray for Chris E 74 after a bit of a layoff and proved he has not lost his touch. the First race was won by Pete W using his Brit Pop for a change and it certainly went well. Mick C 46 took the second race by a country mile, but his races were so inconsistent that he was neve going to be in the running. The racing was superb with two good long beat and runs and a final beat to the finish, race three and Rob W 97, took the win and then the next two races were won by Roger C 30 in fine style. The fleet was hot and battles were going on all though, with the breeze gradually picking up as the morning wore on, but you got to take your hat off to Chris, he was on fire and was very consistent, Rob w 97 will be happy with his mornings work, as will Roger C 30, It was certainly BP dominance today with 5 Brit Pops in the top ten, Not sure what happened to the Venti charge but it just did not happen. Very well done to Chris for the win , don’t stay away to long in the future, and of course to all who competed, it was a great mornings racing, and I am sure we all enjoyed it .
many thanks also to all who helped tidy stuff away , see you next time.
