As John has indicated above, it was a great end to the series with our largest fleet of the season, warm & sunny weather, and enough wind to complete 5 hard fought races.
We started off at about 11:30am with the breeze from the ENE at about 5-8 knots , slowly building to about 10 knots for the second race. After about an hour's lunch break we were back out on the water at about 2:30pm for 3 more races. The wind may have been 12 knots with some gusts a bit more for these races - enough to get on the plane on the downwind legs.
Close racing was the order of the day, all through the fleet, with upwind tactics at a premium and downwind pumping fitness important.
Richie Reynolds reveled in the conditions, taking the round win from James Grunfelder and Doug Mclean.
A big thank you to Nick & Ron for making the most of the light winds with spot on courses and keeping us in order on the water.
