‘The forecast was a bit more accurate this morning, and although early arrivers found a good A rig wind – it was definitely borderline by 10 o’clock. It was however, a very good session of racing, with both rigs having…
The 9 skippers had two shocks today: a more of less steady easterly of low to mid ‘S’ suit range, and (thanks to John M) all the fun of using buoys 2 and 3 as a gate! (Well for the…
