Well you might think it’s the end of covid – but for us its WIND – lovely wind. Not a lot, but who cares? Enough for 7 skippers to begin with some short 1 lappers, becoming short 2 lappers and…

Just four RM skippers arrived at the lake but Dick Grainge lost control soon after launching for the first race and took no part from then on. The RMs were outnumbered by IOMs that enjoyed some fun racing. The remaining…
