Hello sailors, It was a reasonably breezy day for the 5 yachts that turned up to race.
There was a bit of a delay to the start as some yachts were fiddling about trying to get their sails up and Kilmarnock was having another bout of minor disasters that made her miss the start entirely and retire dispondent again. Nevertheless, Anitra and Libby got away in good time with the Div A boats following 7 mins later. Well, that was the plan but they seemed to have different ideas, and at the start gun, they were nowhere to be seen. Eventually they managed to work their way back to the start and get their race underway. The 2 monohulls in Div A had a reef in while the other boats dispensed with that idea. Today was to be Trifectas day in the conditions that got even breezier as the race started, right up her alley, and she stormed around the trac,k taking line honours followed by Special FX, Wright One, then Anitra and Libby,
Handicap honours went to:
Wright One 58mins 44sec 1st
Special FX 54 mins 22 sec 2nd
Trifecta 50 mins 8 sec 3rd
Anitra 69 mins 25 sec 4th
Libby 72 mins 10 sec 5thDue to the blustery conditions the 2nd race was abandoned and of course as the buoys were picked up and we headed to the moorings the wind eased to a nice 15knts and the sun came out. See you all in 2 weeks,
Blue skies Rex
