Very light and shifty winds for Monday’s Whitsun Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 races across the day, with a stoppage for some well deserved lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was great to see so many boats out on Monday, whether you were racing or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris H (Comet) was the early leader in the first race, but dropped back significantly as the race wore on. Rick (ILCA 7),& Mike & Ale (Albacore) also suffered from hitting patches of no wind, and subsequently tumbled down the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the finish gun, Karen crossed the line first, having staged a great comeback from earlier in the race. Newton (Solo) was second and Chris H 3rd. It was great so see so many positions being traded throughout the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course was changed for the second race, but the wind shifted again, once again allowing for plenty of overtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton was first across the line, followed by Karen 2nd and Chris H 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After aovely lunch of Sausage Casserole & Apple Pie, made by Ann. The fleet returned to the water for the final race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind had filled in slightly, from the Southwest, but alas kept shifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 5 of the boats managed 6 laps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton crossed the line first, with Karen 2nd & Mike & Ale 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once handicaps had been applied and times adjusted, Karen wins the Whitsun Cup, with a clean sweep of 3 wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton was 2nd & Aileen 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Hugh and his team for running the racing on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
