What a contrast to last week when there was barely enough wind to get around the course. Today between 10am and 2pm the wind at Seaway Tower gusted from 17 to 26 knots. In between these bullets there were plenty of dead spots with frequent 30 degree changes of direction.
A really challenging day but Dan Bergan came out on top from Mike Cosgriff who won the last three scratch races,
Peter Burford was third and may well have finished higher if he had put his keel in the correct way. He sailed the whole day with the thing in backwards!
It was freezing cold and we knocked off early to get a hot drink.
The final points were: Dan 20, Mike 24, Peter B 26, David Page 31, Byron Humphries 37 and Peter O 50
