Yacht Racing Report
John Berry has sent a report of Yacht Racing for March 2022. He says:
Fiestas
We were welcomed to the pond with clear blue skies and an 8mph wind from the East.
This year we have invited the DF65 fleet to sail with the Fiestas.
5 Fiestas and 8 DF65s took part in the 9 race day with the first race at 10am and the last race finishing before 12noon.
After 2 discards Alan Bennet won the day with his DF65 an A+ rig and a slightly cut down long keel.
Alan was closely followed by John Berry and Terry Miles sailing Fiestas and Stephen Toulson sailing another DF65 with an A+ rig.
Thanks to George Bennet and Neil Barton for doing most of the scoring
Lets hope for a similar turnout on the 27th March when it will be DF65 racing with Fiestas invited
J Class
The first of the J Class series racing was held on Sunday 13th March First race 10 am and the last race to be finished by 12 noon.
We we greeted by winds up to 15mph from the SW and all sailors opted for B rigs.
Trevor Redford won the day however John and Dave did make him work for his victory.
