Racing – Sunday 23rd March

Another day of light winds for the Spring Series. A millpond greeting the 11 racers today with plenty of shifts in the non existent breeze.

The Pursuit Race was won by Karen (Comet), who wasted no time in getting back up to speed returning from her seasonal emigration. Newton (Solo), who, despite heading to the wrong mark, managed to sail back up through the fleet to take second place. Third place was claimed by Richard S (ILCA 6)

The Handicap race was initially led by Ralph, who also managed to miss a mark and subsequently decided he had better places to be and retired. Maybe there’s not enough space to write the course down on these Solo’s!

Karen was therefore first across the line, followed by Newton and Rick (ILCA 7). The only change to the podium once Handicap was calculated kicked was Richard S taking the 3rd place from Rick.

A massive thank you to Steve S and his team who stepped in at the last minute to run the racing today.

The penultimate soup of the day was Carrot and Coriander, made by Ann. All to play for next week as it’s the last Soup on Sunday, and I’ll have no food to report on until the Commodores Cup starts on the 16th April.

Hope to see you all next Sunday for another two races of the Spring Series.
