 The tWe assembled at Hollowell Sailing Club for the fifth round of the Wee Nip Medal Challenge, and we were gifted a rather pleasant day but with little wind from an awkward direction, that is from the south west. This made course setting somewhat difficult. Peter Shepherd set a reaching start to a port rounding windward buoy, and then a gate followed by an insure port rounding mark back to the gate then port round the insure mark and port round the initial windward mark to the finish.
There were various gremlins during the day, most prominent was the radio problem found on Peter Shepherds boat, which resulted in him borrowing John Simmons. The irony was that PS went on to win over JS. Other things that were noted was an improvement in performance from Derek Lane, and a rather poor day from Peter Jackson, who was struggling with radio drop out at far distance, later traced to an aerial that had become unshipped from its proper place in the boat. The races took a little longer to complete during the day due to light winds and only fifteen races were completed.The Team prize was won yet again by Two Islands.
