Spring Series 5 – Race Report
Excuses were aplenty for the fifth race in the series. Bob was suffering from a dickie stomach so took a chance to fix his boat, Tracey wasn’t up in time to start the race, but turned up to sticker her boats, and there was no sign at all of Monica or Mark.
Still, there were 18 boats who braved the cold wind – much windier than forecast. Dave P was feeling a bit delicate, so opted for a Radial rig but for the braver souls, there was a chance to make good use of spinnakers. There was excitement at buoy 1 when Adrian ditched the new Vago, and kept the rescue crew busy as they tried to pull his mast out of the mud. Hugh managed to stay out in the front for an hour before being caught by the lasers. |
