It was fine, warm and sunny at 'The Lakes' today for the 10 sailors who launched their IOM's.

The morning session saw some 180o wind shifts during a race but the wind settled down to a north easterly after lunch.

The R.O was able to set a two lap course in the morning and use it all day.

Wins were shared by several sailors with some close sailing but some were forced to withdraw following gear problems or tangles that required a dingy rescue.

After 3:00pm the fleet started to dwindle and the remaining fast tiring few left in the sun decided to call it a day at 3:30pm.

The R.O thanks those who helped to tidy up and put the gear away.
