Gillette Series 1 – 17th April 2019

The highest turn out of the year so far with 27 starters. There was a good turnout of our younger sailors, Jemima, Ed and Phoebe in Oppies, Emily in her Topper and Rhys and Joe in Lasers. A couple of our older sailors also returned from their winter hibernation, welcome back to Chris A and Richard H.

In fairly light wind the race was a three lapper, although eight of the boats were finished after completing two laps.

The finishing order on the water was –

1^st Ralph – Laser; 2^nd Nev & Mike – Leader; 3^rd Mike T – Laser; 4^th Paul R – Aero 7; 5^th Newton – Solo; 6^th Chris – Solo; 7^th Hugh – Laser; 8^th Karen – Laser.

On corrected time our Oppie aces jump up the leader board and the order becomes –

1^st Jemima – Oppie; 2^nd Ed – Oppie; 3^rd Nev & Mike – Leader; 4^th Ron – Mirror; 5^th Ralph – Laser; 6^th Mike T – Laser; 7^th Newton – Solo; 8^th Paul – Aero

Unfortunately, I was not present, and the race sheet seems to have gone missing, but thank you to the SOOD and his team and sorry for not including your names in this brief report.
