For today's racing the wind was very much in the lower numbers. The forecast was for 5 knots and direction SE. No question on rig size - the biggest A rig.
Another light wind meeting. Numbers were down with folk away and recovering from the lurgy.
As expected, Jamie Blair (51) ran away with the first 4 races before Mark Penny (03) won a well-earned bullet.
Mark and Jon raced for best results swapping places all through the 16 races. Our triangle sausage course proved tantalising with 5-10 degree shifts from the SE to S allowing a game of snakes and ladders up the beat.
We welcomed back Roger Gibbs (32) after a hand operation - all to important in our game! His results improved as the day went on going home with two bullets.
The local Sheppey racer had to retire hurt after race 7 with smoke billowing out of his cockpit hatch and electrics somewhat melted!
Jamie won the session.
Our next Sunday racing is scheduled for the 9th of February.
