Spring Series #5&6
Another perfect day at the world's best sailing club. A mix of monos, cats and Tri’s met the Starters gun including at least one Open Skiff, Laser Rooster, Impulse, Nacra 4.5 Super Sloop, Hobie 14, Weta SQ, Nacra 14sq, Paper Tiger, Windrush 4.3, Maricat 4.3 Super Sloop, Taipan 4.9, 'A' Class, Nacra 5.8 and iFly 15. With a total of 20 competitors I'm sure a great day was had by all (well nobody said otherwise). Weather was fine with a 5 to 10 knot breeze from all directions but mostly east. Some holes were to be found if you weren't looking for them. Some close finishes in the Weta and Nacra 14sq fleets. Hard luck prize goes to Paper Tiger Paul with 2 DNFs. Standout Skipper in the second race was that old fox Cliffy on his new/old Taipan.
Many thanks to Paul in the Starter's Hut, Nigel for the results plus Rob and Patrick on the Safety boat (I don't think the latter had many customers on the day).
Look out for Lock’s full length video in a week
