I hope that your first sail of the year will be at Spinnaker not Ranelagh!!!!

See you there.

Thanks to all that turned up on Sunday. For those that didn't, you missed one of the best days at Ranelagh for a long tiime. 33 deg C weather, a F2-3 from the S S-E which meant it aligned with the river and gave a fantstic race.

After an unfortunately light wind start when just about the whole fleet were caught out on the wrong side of the line, Will Henderson and Fran got away first and had a right old ding dong of a battle all the way round. Never separated by more than a few boat lengths for the entire race with the lead swapping several times. Great racing and spectating. The rest of us all got away and proceeded to have a fantastic race for third. I cant remeber a better race at Ranelagh for a long time.
