14th May Commodore’s Cup Race 5

There was a lovely force 4 wind for the latest round of the Commodore’s Cup last night.

15 boats took to the water, with the start line right down the far end of the lake.

James C (RS 300) took an early lead, with Steve S (Blaze) following behind. Newton (Solo) rounded the first mark in 3rd place. In the midfleet, there was a close battle with several boats all jostling for position. Ralph (Solo) was leading this pack for much of the race, but was passed by Hugh and Joel on the last lap. James C crossed the line first, followed by Steve S & Newton. After handicap was calculated, Newton finished 1st, with Joel 2nd and James C 3rd.

There were capsizes a plenty, as Mark (Aero), James C, Richard W (ILCA) & Roland S (Solo) all went over.

A big thank you to Ale and his team for running the racing last night, especially to Ale for stepping in at the last minute.

After the race, there was Lasagna, Garlic Bread and Salad. Made by Carol.

We’re back on Sunday for the next installments of the Spring Series
