No Tony this week, so you’ve got me again, Results Micky! Well, the predicted light westerly breeze was late on patrol this morning. Still, 8 Lasers, 3 RS400s, a Topper and a Contender turned out for race1, a simple 1 lap crawl round 0,4,1,A.

Pete C led at the windward mark and then headed way out left down the run, picking up enough breeze to hold on to his lead, sneaking in ahead of Colin, me & Ewan at the bottom, just as the R/O shortened to one lap. A quick mention here for Abi coming in a creditable 5th, in her 4.7.👍

2 laps for race 2, as the breeze finally began to show a little enthusiasm. Pete’s penchant for heading left cost him dear up the 1st beat as he sailed into a hole, while all the action was happening further out to the right. Later, on the final beat, Colin and Rodger picked up a huge lift approaching 4 from the right, overhauling the leader and going on to finish nearly 3 minutes ahead by the finish. So cruel!! 😉

Thanks to Ruth, Tuka & Paul on duty.

And finally, good to see our fabled Shire Horses hitched together in Andy’s newly acquired RS400. Gary has realised he’ll always cross the line ahead of Andy if he sits in the front. 🐎🐎

3rd Sunday next week – That of course means pursuit race time again. TTFN…………
