5-12 January 2018
A hot day, light NE wind that built a little and shifted NNE by start time of 1330.
Race 3, 4 laps of a windward & return course. All the fleet hit the right corner downwind with David Hayter taking an early lead from the following bunch to open a big lead and win from Mark Krystic & Dave Alexander.
Race 4, slightly longer course, 4 laps W & R in a about 15 knots from NNE - maybe 10 degrees further left. Sea breeze effect in. Again David Hayter took an early lead and increased that to a considerable margin, to win comfortably from Mark Krystic then Roger Blasse.
Race 5 & 6 on Monday, expected to be the same conditions - NNE as we are on the west side of a high pressure ridge just off the coast. Could be a few more days of similar conditions.
