Start at the perch, down to black braes, over to conniborrow, back to power station, over to a mark just past the slipway finish by the perch. Variable Light winds F2/3 at best, none sometimes.

A very unusual race tonight. Danny G and Keith L established a good lead on the way to black braes. Then the wind dropped near conniborrow and many boats caught up. Then the wind dropped again and 7 boats sat at the power station mark for about 15 minutes. All was quiet as no one was for giving up with the finish line in sight and the race having been shortened to one lap. Then the wind picked up at there was a mad dash for the finish line. The fastest finishing boat completed in 62mins 13 sec and the slowest? boat finished in 63.16. Close!

Once the LFYC handicap was applied the results looked all different.  Blessed are the first they shall be last (Matthew 5.lfyc)
