The first day of Autumn, Round 5 the penultimate race of the Summer League and a bright sunny day with plenty of wind.

Six skippers facing a gusty West to North West wind with plenty of variability in both strength and direction, giving quite a challenge for racing.

A few large grey clouds during the afternoon giving some light showers. One heavier shower resulting in all skippers retiring to the hut for a chat.

Plenty of banter, some heavy gusts of wind well over the top of Number 1 rig, the odd collision, a few breakdowns making it an interesting race round. 

For the first time in the series we had a line starter and a scorer in Roy.

Winner on the day and now the series leader was Graham sailing his new boat, second Andy and third Rob.

Finally, this race being first round of the series using our new rather excellent launch platform.
