The forecast looked very light, but the wind filled in beautifully as the race started. OOD Graham King set the upstream figure of eight course P. Andy Harris and Matty Key in Crescendo shot away from the start, creating a big lead very quickly. Matt PJ and Alastair Banks in National 18 Optimus Prime was soon in hot pursuit, but never able to catch them. The wind did come and go a bit, but overall we had an evening of champagne sailing. Tom and Ed Low made their first appearance in Tom’s Merlin and were third over the line. Thanks to John Adams for producing the results after the handicaps were applied – see below.
Thanks to Graham King and Ian Ramage in the box, Paul and Sara Jamieson in the Patrol Boat.
The race was followed by drinks in the bar and meal provided by Alaphia assisted by Chloe in the kitchen and David and Florin and Alice in the bar.
