Strong and shifty winds from the northeast again for the latest rounds of the Commodore’s Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 5 sailors made it out, with quite a few additional helpers on the safety boat team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three ILCA 6’s of James P, Hugh & Will S all started well, with Will able to cross over Infront of the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind was playing havoc at the windward mark and caused several boats to lose ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will and Hugh we’re neck and neck around the windward mark. However, both Hugh & James lost control on the run, with the latter capsizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will meanwhile sailed on, increasing his lead throughout the race. He crossed the line 1st over 4 minutes ahead of the next laser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Aileen (Comet) & Kate (ILCA4) were both making progress around the course. The wind and the strong gusts eased towards the end of the race which made it more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugh was second across the line, with James P 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positions remained unchanged on Handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to Steve S and his team for running the race and providing such excellent safety cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, there was Chicken & Chorizo Gnocchi, made by Karen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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