Sunday 27th October, DF65

Sunday dawned bright and clear, with a nice wind from the SW. Pete, who was OOD was out on the water first thing setting 2 courses, one on the East Bank, the other on the South Bank (just in case the wind shifted). In the event the wind stayed consistent and we stayed on the East Bank, not even having to alter any marks all day!
Pete (65) got off to a great start and opened up a commanding win, winning the day, even more commendably managed to win in spite of having Gremlins attacking his boat! Pete experienced radio clitches which by the end of the day having to retire  yet still managed to win.

Mick C (46) had a good day, sailing constantly well finished just behind Pete. Mention must be made about Sam (59), bit of a dark horse that lad, he one one race, crossing the line whilst the rest of the fleet hadn’t turned the bottom mark! He was always just behind Mick and Pete.

Unfortunately Richard (699) also was attacked by the Gremlins, having issues all morning with rig problems, by his own admission wasn’t his finest hour.

All in all a great day’s sailing, enjoyed by all and blessed with great conditions allowing for 11 great races,Well done all..
