Last night 8 boats competed the 2nd race in our summer series. The forecast 10 - 17 kts grew into a 22 -30kt grueler from the NE amongst building seas.

A sea best suited to the heavier cruisers that can be seen in the results. With the exception of Jessica who was relishing her Nordic heritage in such conditions.

Thanks to John Briggs for the help laying the marks and to Blue Bird , Jessica, Fingal and Dreamcatcher s crew for their retrieval in a growing sea!

Thanks all …. New handicap in the results.
