North Easterly wind gusting F5+6 for the first race shifted to East and continued to build. Course perch, black brae, conniborrow, power station in race one. 1 and 7/8 times around!. Course was changed to suit a more easterly wind in race two to start off the slipway, to power station, black brae, conniborrow, powerstation.
Loads of reaching in this course today. Bill and James J got two great starts and were sailing brillantly under spinnaker but lost out a bit on the beats which were more like close fetches.
Very difficult conditions at the gybe mark at blackbrea. Ken and Davy L lost their spinnaker pole downhaul in race 1. Peter F and James H also had trouble with a spinnaker cleat.

Congratulations to Danny and Gareth G who notched up their first victory in the new boat.
