We waited a while, did some team building and a photo shoot
<
http://blokart.jigluhood.com/tags/photos>, but finally about 3 pm we
started racing, the restricted struggling a bit with only 4 metres,
everyone else had a 5.5 in the 5-6 knts of fluctuating breeze. We then
got in 9 races, 3 in each division finishing at 5 and packing up in near
dark.
Straight windward /leeward races on the runway kept everyone busy and
sorted out those who could work the angles the best.
The restricted ended with a battle between Lucy and Callum with the
lighter Callum ghosting along to win two and Lucy got the other. Brett
was consistent with three 3rds.
Lightweights belonged to Margy B with 3 out of 3 guns with Dom and Sarah
fighting it out for the minor placings. Barry got his act together in
the last race to grab a 2nd with Sarah just behind.
The heavyweights struggled a bit in the light winds, Russell taking the
win but Bruce has found some new speed and grabbed a couple of seconds
with some good sailing and Nicko and Grant also getting some placings.
Photos and results out tomorrow.
