Last weekends program (1st/2nd October) was affected by contrary winds and weather , not of course uncommon at this time of year. However Sunday saw a Brass Monkey race take to the water after some late preparation and decisions by the stand in race officer.
The wind direction was difficult to predict , swirling to the extent that the on board wind indicators were of little use.
However Rachel Wynn , Comet , did extremely well in the slow fleet taking top spot from Arne Lovius ‘ Europe. Justin Deane took the novice crown defeating Rick Parker this time , and the Bolton siblings of Hana and Matthew lead Eve Fifield, this time in the very competent cadets. They were sailing Laser Radial to first and third places sandwiching Matt on his Topper.
More racing continues even if the heavier wet suits are used as we move towards season end in a months time.
