A very shifty and violently gusty wind of up to force 6 provided plenty of entertainment for those on the shore, particularly given a course which included 3 gybe marks. Four races were sailed with the best 3 to count. A forecast of gales, rain, hail and thunder meant that only the keenest turned out, however, the fleet of 9 enjoyed what some were head to say was the best day's racing of the season.
The day was not without it's casualties - Simon Liddington's mast found one of the gusts too powerful and David Wilkins sailing the Adshead's double bottomed Chapter suffered a seriously damaged reputation at the club with around five year's worth of capsizes in a single day!
