Another Round the island Race under the belt.
Hot day in the sun, no wind.
Forecast wind did not materialise.

Sailed the F20 on Sunday.
Puff-hunting at its best.
Front five boats spent the day tacking and gibing, showing the slower boats where not to go.
The rest of the fleet sailed straight around the course, as the wind kept switching.

Second F20 and fourth on line honours.
Thanks to Q4 for the opportunity to race these axing boats.
Thanks to our hosts club LDYC…
The best inland sailing club in RSA.

The photo shows us before the start, circling the limit boat.

See you again next year.
