A colder start to the day, and some occasional drizzle, but there was still plenty of wind for the three race series.
Numbers sailing were reduced to 90 boats due to the continued high winds, which increased as the day went on. The morning course seemed to confuse some despite having had a lead boat for the initial lap! Many sailors recalled how powerful the seemingly innocuous gusts were (to spectators anyway), and more sailors opted to sit it out whilst watching the thrills and spills on the long offwind legs which challenged even the hardiest of sailors at times. The activity certainly kept the rescue crews busy!
Abbatastic costumes may well adorn some of those dancing the night away at the disco this evening.
