It was a beautiful, sunny Easter Sunday for the first Scottish Hansa Traveller of 2019. Light winds greeted the six 303-single competitors as they rigged and launched their boats. Three had enjoyed a great day's training with Clydemuirshiel's Neil and Andy on the Saturday and were hoping for great things on their home water.
Race 1 was, perhaps, a disappointment to the home sailors as the three visitors took the honours.
1st Mike Everitt, Frensham Pond
2nd Jessica Campbell, SSS@GAC
3rd Rory McKinna, CCC Dinghy Section
4th Phil Reoch, Clydemuirshiel
5th Craig Holland, Clydemuirshiel
6th Stuart Caldwell, Clydemuirshiel
Race 2 saw a change with Phil Reoch beating Jessica into fourth place and Rory snatching second.

Race 3 - The wind was growing stronger and more gusty helping the visitors.
