There was a very select group of six of the brethren assembled themselves on a hot overcast day with little wind to start with, but a reasonable course was set by the Race Officer Richard Dolman, aided by Peter Shepherd, and we continued with it until lunch at eight races. After lunch the wind shifted and Richard and Peter set a new course, which we kept for a few races, and then it was deemed we needed to round the final buoy before the finish to starboard. The wind strength increased a little after lunch and the clouds began to gather, but we completed our sixteen races before anyone got wet.
The eventual winner was Paul Risdale with sail 53, followed closely by both Peters with PJ coming second on count-back. Our thanks to Richard Dolman for giving up his sailing to be Race Officer.
