Weather forecast not great , a few trembling knees on the no shows, but hey it turned out not too bad at all , showers , sunshine and a decent breeze from the South West , what more do you want.

We had 5 skippers and we all started on the same rig which was B , Rigger’s Rigby got off to a flying start and took the first race , Mick C took the 2nd spot with a crafty little tack right on the finish line from Pete W , 2nd race Dave again took the win with great speed on beat and on the run , Pete got the 2nd spot , Richard was still finding his feet and a few adjustments were made on Dave C ‘s boat with some advice to make improvements, After 3 races we called a coffee break as it appeared the wind had got a little lighter , 4 boats changed to A rig , and after a banana and a biscuit we lined up again, to be fair it did not seem to have lightened , but hey ho , Pete took the win , Mick C went in irons just after the start and was lacking the skill to get going, leaving Dave to chase Pete down, Richard decided ( quite rightly in my humble opinion) to change back to B rig , and just before the start of race 5 Mick C had a catastrophic Bridle failure and was out of the mornings racing , Richard was getting to grips with the B rig and was sailing very well in fact he took the win in race 6 , Pete took the final race but Dave who had sailed a great morning to win the mornings bragging rights, with a great performance,

A good mornings racing for all proving that you miss it, at your peril, well done all. Especially Dave R 180 It was 14 C by the way .

Report done for Dave by agreement .
