Mon 5 August

Photo Gallery has additional photos from this afternoon’s racing.

High winds and rain were forecast, and that’s what appeared.

Morning racing was for youth novices, but cancelled due to wind conditions. In the afternoon, 20 of the hardiest of sailors raced in a mixed handicap fleet with a mass start, and results calculated on average lap basis. There were a few capsizes, various gusts that enabled exciting planing reaches, and unfortunately a broken mast. Finlay Watson towed his own life raft (aka rubber ring) around the course, and probably regretted the level of drag it caused!
