Adam Smith, Sunday, 18 November 2012
Overview of the Results here
Not much wind in the morning but a good turnout of 9 Optis for coaching. Dolphins in a playful mood, maybe because Lisa and Rupert O'Neill decided to go for a swim with them.
Also good to see Nick Jones out on the water for the weekend in the new trailer sailer
In the afternoon the wind picked up to a nice steady 12 - 15 knot south-westerly. Perfect wind for good racing and the racing particularly in Heat 6, was tight. In this race there was less than a minute separating the Division 1 catamarans with Steve Cross and Lyn Dugay breaking through for their first win (and now confidently predicting many more!). In Division 2 only 3 seconds separated the Tasar and the Impulse. Things were a little more clear cut in Division 3 but it looks like Bryan will have some more competition soon apparently with 3 more Sabres to join the fleet in coming weeks. Maybe the handicapper should also pick up Alan Bryson's suggestion of a weight for age race (that should slow down Lynn as well as Bryan - perhaps a good idea!)

P.S. We seem to be missing a hand-held radio from the weekend's activities, if you happen to have taken it home with your boating gear please let a club official know.
