Hi Skippers,
Well it turned out to be a cracker afternoon for the 7 skippers sailing.
The morning rain clouds cleared and the breeze was hovering between 8 – 18 knots so all yachts were on A rigs which made it exciting when a 18 knot bullet came through.
David C-Dobing and Dan Silk were battling out the early heats with both of them tied on points after 6 races. John Halloran and I were in a similar arm wrestle for 3rd and 4th place.
After the short half time break David had a couple of shockers and it looked like it was Dan’s day but Dave managed to come 3rd in the last two heats which gave him the win on the day. Well sailed !!!
Congrats to the place getters:
1st David C-Dobing #12 21 points
2nd John Halloran #83 22 points
3rd Dan Silk #07 24 points

Well sailed Dan for achieving your first series podium result.
With the blue sky and tricky gusty wind it made for a very close afternoon of sailing.
Thanks to Garry McMahon for turning up to score the afternoon. Much appreciated!
Thanks to all who helped pack up the buoybots and to Tony S for taking the trailer.
See you all on Saturday for Club Champs scratch racing #4.
Happy sailing,
Simon K
