Sunday 31st July

An overcast start was slow to clear, but, as forecast, patches of blue sky started to appear. The wind was a little more reluctant, and racing was postponed until 1330 hrs at the earliest, at which stage a sea breeze seemed to be taking over from the forecast NNW direction, racing was planned for 1415.

Whilst setting the course, the wind filled back in from NNW, the start sequence was underway, only for the sea breeze to return! A postponement was raised, the line moved, and racing was started again. Fortunately, the general SW direction held, and remained for the duration of the race, which was to be the only one of the day.

The prize giving was postponed in favour of the women’s Euro final.

Saturday 30th July

After a bright, mild day, on Friday for campers to set up, some rain moved in overnight, and misle lasted throughout most of the first day’s sailing. The wind was not as gusty as forecast, but there was some good opportunities to plane at times for over 110 boats.

After racing the fish and chip van was kept busy, before the Commodore’s reception, followed by a disco.

Internet problems delayed publication of the results, but they are sorted now!
