1st June Spring Series Race 13

A gusty force three from the Southwest greeted sailors for the final races of the Spring Series.

12 sailors made it out to the start of the pursuit race, with Will S in his Topper setting off first. The majority of the fleet set off at the same time, passing Chris H in his Comet. Will S remained ahead for the rest of the race, finishing half a leg in front. Chris K finished 2nd (ILCA 6), with Darren 3rd.

There was an eventful start in the Handicap race, with only 8 sailors remaining. Mike and Alé were way over the line, but weren’t called out on it. Will S managed to hide behind their boat and was also over, both getting good starts. Mike and Alé maintained their lead throughout the race. Elsewhere Newton and Chris K were having a close battle for 2nd place, with Richard S also in the mix before dropping back. Elsewhere, Will S and Chris H were having a close battle, with Will finishing just ahead.

Mike and Alé crossed the line first with Chris K 2nd and Newton 3rd. On Handicap, Will S took the win, marking a clean sweep for the day. Chris K was 2nd and Newton 3rd.

Not many capsizes yesterday, probably due to the absence of the usual suspects…

A big thank you to Rhys and his team for running the racing yesterday.

We’re back on Wednesday for the next round of the Commodore’s Cup.
