On Sunday DSC completed 2 more of its
Easter sailing series.
A committee boat start allowed the OOD
to lay a figure of 8 course which made full use of the
moderate but steady wind.
14 boats entered the 1st event,
most of them being the regular members in Lasers and
Solos but they were joined by a new RS300 expertly
sailed by Bones who shot across the start line and
established a lead which was never challenged. The
conditions favoured Solos rather than Lasers but even
they were beaten by M Bennett in his DY who took 2nd
place on Hcp. 3rd was J Weeks, 4th J Raad, 5th
R Allen all in Solos followed by the leading Laser of
J Stockbridge.
The second race was joined by a Dart
catamaran and a Wayfarer but the RS300 still forged
ahead of the fleet and proved impossible to beat. The
Solos changed their positions with J Raad moving up to
take 2nd place, R.Allen was 3rd, B Thomas
4th and J.Weeks tying for 5th with the Laser of
J Stockbridge.
Next weeks racing will be at 1700
hours
