Thursday 21st May, Force 3 South Westerly
Boats ranged in performance from a B14 to an RS Feva. The fleet was split into fast and slow fleets of equal sizes with both fleets sailing the same course. We were tested on most points of sailing. The first day started sunny with very little wind, so we had to wait until 12.00 for the 1st race in a force 3. After unch we had 2 moreraces in similar conditions, but with the tide going out not in. In the 4th race, the wind dropped away to nothing, so the race officer abondoned but used the times from the 1st lap to get a result.
