Race report 4 February 2023
Guest User
From our PRO Peter Collie:
This was an unusual day for summer racing. We had a westerly wind forecast all day. Usually, the westerly runs in the winter, and only in the morning, in this case it was all day and often exceeded the forecast 10 knots with the gusts and shifts we are used to with a westerly. Sailors said that the top mark approaches were where this was felt the most.
Fortunately, the BBQ was already sizzling when sailors returned to enjoy the rest of a brilliant summer day.

ILCA 7 Zander Bijkerk was 1st with Rod Barnes 2nd and Ryan Aldrich 3rd
