DF65 Opening Day 2024 at The Bus Stop

Hot with a nice NW breeze set the scene for the eight skippers sailing our opening day on the lake. There was a distinct odour of sunscreen in the air as the boys were trying to fend off sunburn, well done.

Nigel 168 tested us with a tricky course that presented lots of opportunities for passing. Very keen racing today with close finishes in most races. Lots of talking at mark roundings helped reduce collisions.

Next week we may see more sunshade devices being used as the sun is now becoming vicious.

Pat showed us no mercy in both RTW's to finish well clear of the fleet.

Enjoy the photos
