Our PRO for the day Rod Barnes reports in.

The weather gods shone favourably on the fleet on Saturday as sailors were greeted to a 6-11knot westerly with blue skies and a clear harbour.

In the radials Brooke Wilson dominated the fleet in all three races but was pushed all the way by Ian Alexander, Andrew Cox and Kate McHugh.

Youngster Charlie Byford showed some great form in the early stages of the third race but was overrun by wiser heads.

In the standard fleet Daniel Costandi showed a clean pair of heels in all three races closely followed by others including a consistent Rob Vann.

Although they now sail in different fleets it was great to see Brooke and Daniel have a tacking duel up to the finish in the first race.

The racing was managed by Rod Barnes and David Airey on the Jazzman supported by John Verco and Steven Boukatos on the Paul Adam.

Thanks to Paul Adam for his regular supply of tomato soup which is always a winner at the end of winter sailing.
