Another top day at the controls with ten boats racing. As predicted a 10kn northerly with some gusts coming over the mountain gave plenty of opportunities for some good wins. Graham 122 showed good early for winning three races which shook the other skippers into action.
Pete showed up late and launched the Dragon without turning on the power. He went straight to the 'naughty chair' and Nigel launched Rescue 1. What a magnificent machine and operator combo that is. Check out the video of the action on facebook.

Racing resumed with vigour and most skipper came away with a win. Some margins were very close. The final beat home was a mine field as it was in the calm part of the course. One had to keep one's nerve and don't panic in that area.
Nice to see Mike launch his new Version 5 Dragon. He's working feverishly on tuning to get competitive. He showed several spurts of speed and was close to the lead in a number of races.
