Club Racing 6th May 2007 At last, after an eternity of north easterly winds, the air recovered its seasonal temperature and balmy breezes crept in from the continent during the day. Not so balmy as it turned out as many capsized blaming gusty surprises, incompatible crews and general inattention whilst the wind settled to force 3-4 from the South East. Eleven boats were in the first race of the day with the asymetrics more numerous - RS 800s. RS 400s and the F18 cats. Short seas and a change in the tidal current provided a wide range of conditions often favouring some of the older designs for a change. |
