Race Report
Saturday’s storms may have made for a perfectly spooky Halloween, but created challenging conditions for sailing. Thunderstorms and heavy rain caused a delay in the start of racing, but in between storms the race committee was able to squeeze in heats 6 and 7 of the Spring Point Score. The fleet raced in a challenging shifty Southerly which ranged from 5 to 20 knots. The winners of the day (after handicapping) were: Standards: Steve London (heat 6) and Michael Osborne (heat 7), Radials: David Airey (heat 6) and James Tudball (heat 7). Thanks to the race committee for making the most of the challenging weather: PRO: Gavin Blake, LRTaR: Murray Stone, COTD: Thomas Beregi, CCO/CoCOTD: Kim Ketelbey, and Canteen Assistants Craig Sheers and James Tudball.
