With a warm 8 - 10 knots of breeze from the south west, Saturday’s racing got underway on time at noon. With four races of about one hour duration, each race provided a different winner. Hedgehog won race one starting the regatta with purpose, and JuJu won race two making the most of their new green rudder. Jiggy 2 won race three seeming to be loving their new boat and pink rudder, and were pointing like the bandits all weekend, and Jawbreaker won race four getting back down to business after a slow start to events.
On Sunday we had a forty minute potter about in the sun waiting for the breeze to fill in, which it eventually did with about 6 - 8 Knots from the south west. As with Saturday, the first race of the day, race five, went to the Hedgehogs. Race six was won by Madeline who put together a great days results and it was Jiggy 2 who rounded off the regatta with their second win in race seven.
Due to a spot of windward mark hide and seek in race three, it was decided that Duncan McCarthy (Madeline) and Darren Stansbury (Hedgehog) would share the Autumn Cup in equal first! With a well deserved Third for Paul and Shane on Jiggy 2.
Many thanks go to the RWYC`s Alan Nichols, James Bembridge, Claire Adams and of course the PRO Mike Pearson and his teams on the committee boat and mark boat. A fine job all round, thanks again.
