14 keen skippers today, all of whom noticed the breeze was up and the sun was shining nicely. Great racing today as that little chop added another dimension to deal with along with the gusts and lulls.

A lot of very close finishes today as skippers tacked and jibed to eek out an advantage. The top mark was a mine field and those skippers who gave it plenty of room could make huge gains in position. The run that Nigel 168 built into the course created a few nose dives and spinouts. It's good to practice your downwind technique  as it is a great passing lane when the wind is up.

A wee bit too much barging at the starts, but the leeward mark roundings were a step up. Keep working on those starts as the good sailors get annoyed with bargers.

Plenty of photos today so enjoy.
