Preparations were started early on Saturday morning Keith Bell already had the rowing boat out and ready for action at 7.30am. Keith and Mike Ewart assisted PJ to lay the course, which was a short into wind triangle going up the lake from the dam port round buoy 1 and a spreader to 2, which was also taken to port. Then a downwind dash to the start, which was used as a gate and a sausage out to 1 to port and then a downwind dash to the finish.

There was a very stiff breeze blowing, mental note to measure the wind strength next time, but suffice to say the Wee Nips were planing downwind in a most spectacular fashion.

Peter Jackson had a collision with Mike Ewart, PJ's fault but Mike's Wee Nip road up and switched of the power to the works, which lead to a power boat recovery, a lesson to be learnt there! Geoff Raygada had a good day and finally won the competition, followed by Mike Ewart, but in third place doing remarkably well was Tom Steel, he just kept popping up in all the right places. There was a remarkable attrition towards the end of the sixteen races with five retirements due to broken rigs.

Just a final note of reminder that we do have to start prompt at 9.00am so briefing will always be at 8.45am in order that we do not go over our allotted finish time of 1.00pm.
