The day started with sunshine but a lack of wind, so racing was postponed for two and a half hours until the sea breeze filled in.
The wind held for most of the race but it eased for the tail enders, and it didn’t look too promising for the final race. However, the OD opted to head out to try and get a start, which didn’t look at all promising with 30 secs to go, but the the wind came back and racing continued. A wind shift, and a rogue Graduate on the start line, resulted in the first general recall of the regatta for the F15s.
