A lovely force 3 for the latest round of the Gillette Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>18 boats took to the water, a port bias on the line for much of the race sequence, the wind suddenly shifted with a starboard end now the favoured start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A close start amongst the boats led to Hugh (ILCA7) reaching the windward mark first, followed by Rhys (ILCA6), then Emily (ILCA6). Hugh was forced to retire due to a boat breakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emily took the lead, but Mark (Aero caught up and passed her on the second lap, holding onto position for the rest of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind dropped off after the second lap, and Rhys was overtaken by Joel (ILCA6),Roland S (Solo) & Steve and Rick (RS200).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark crossed the line 1st, with Emily 2nd & Joel 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Handicap, Emily finished 1st, with Joel 2nd & Rhys 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to Ralph and his team for running the racing on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, there were chicken wraps, followed by cherry pie. Made by Ann & Sally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re back on Sunday for the next rounds of the Summer Series<\/p>\n\n\n\n
