Race report 29 April 2023

From our PRO Michael Osborne:Club Championships 15 and 16 were held in about 6 knots of breeze from the south west – just enough to conduct two challenging races for the 30 sailors competing.It rained in the morning.  For all of the afternoon there were rain clouds to the west of the city, but the rain never made it to the race track, and that may have contributed to the surprising consistency of such a light breeze throughout the afternoon.The winners of Race 1 were David Airey in the Radials and Rob Vann in the Standards.The second race winners were Sarah Bruce and Jules Hall.Thanks to Chris Tattersall and Mark Gray in the Adam – they had to replace two marks in the course of the afternoon which they did without any interference to the racing.   Thanks also to John Vasey on the Jazzman.Results are available in the Sailor app
