A good downish-the-lake wind varied between gentle and B rig. It did look as though it was becoming consistent B rig and John H changed down after lunch, only for the wind to die away. Fortunately it picked for race…
The first day of racing in the new season was a good one. Gusts definitely B rig, but overall A rigs were just manageable (exciting runs though!). A good course of 7/6,3,2,gate,3,2,gate, blues was good enough with the wind not…
