The weather gods smiled on competitors in the Gorleston Sprint Series held on Sunday with the combination of warm sunshine & a south-easterly force 3-4 breeze. Four races were held over windward/leeward courses mostly in a strong flood tide. After close racing on the first lap each race was eventually led by the 3 catamarans competing but they never gained enough time to win on handicap. Consistent performers of the day with wins in every race were Dick Roe/Kate Dulieu sailing a B14 who enjoyed a close tousle in all the races with the RS800 of Chris Sallis/Geoff Tibenham who also managed a second and a third place. There was another close tousle between the RS400s of Martin Brown/Dinah Holmes and Richard Fryer/Carol Smalls with Brown/Holmes achieving 2 seconds and 2 thirds while Fryer/Smalls counted a second and a third.
