Sunny skies and a light to moderate NE breeze greeted the fleet of 30+ for the first races of 2019.

Check out harrowing footage of a near miss captured by Ian Alexander here on The Top Mark.First over the line after handicap were: Standards: Steve London (heat 1) and David Newman (heat 2); Radials / 4.7s: Pippa Batchelor (heat 1) and Justin Davey (heat 2). Thanks to all last week’s volunteers for putting on a great day of racing, including PRO Nick Pellow who was assisted by Clare Alexander on the Jazzman, COTD/PhotographerOTD: Ian Alexander, and CoCOTD: Jost Stollman. As always the toasties were delicious thanks to the canteen crew of Paul, Andrea, Shirley and assisted this week by
