Very unlike the Royal Thames, the Farr45 fleet managed to get only 2 races in over the weekend. The efficient race committee usually manages to get us to race up to 8 proper Windward-Leeward races but this weekend the breeze was just not helping, conditions were even lighter than last weekend. This meant that on Saturday’s race the breeze died through the first attempt and only 2 boats got scored (after one got DSQ-ed for a tiny collision we had with them in the pre-start). Sunday’s racing was slightly better and a full race got sailed (2nd) but a second (third for the series) was very far away and much like the Saturday the RC called it a day (very wisely) when all of us could still do something useful with the rest of the day. In the end a 2nd place for the series and with the great weather a very enjoyable weekend with the guys from Atomic.

Only time will tell what’s next but the forecast is for the summer to continue a little while longer…

Ciao!
