Mixed Fleet Racing - April 21st

Due to various competitions & weather difficulties we have not had a Mixed Fleet race for a while, in the intervening period a number of us have made their Wee Nips and this proved the popular choice of the Day. New boats on the water today were "Sheep dip" & "Lismore" and Dave Lissaman kindly lent his other Wee Nip to David Shannon making a total of five Wee Nips on the water. Norman Hardy was sailing his Jif65 from the RG65 class with a Bermuda Rig & Nigel Rudd had a Black Ghost with swing Rig sails.

The wind early on was light and gradually increased as the fleet assembled, all the boats were very evenly matched, which makes for some interesting and close racing with it often being Nip & Tuck all the way to the finish, there were victories for everyone with no one skipper dominating so it was important to keep out of trouble and try to keep your finishes consistently high.
One victory of note was David Shannons in Race 11 who sailing in a Radio Model Event for the first time quite quickly managed to get the hang of it and started to put in some good results even against the seasoned campaigners.

Thanks to all who took part for today’s most enjoyable racing.
