Preparing our boats
Five dinghies turned out to race.
The course for both races was Cs - Gs - Hs - Ap - 18s - Ss - Two laps and three laps for the Laser and Iso.
Duncan and Alex. Ivan leading Dave home at the end of the first race.
Discussing the first race, the count down to the second race is about to begin.
Ivan; Dave; Dave and Michael; Michael
Alex creaming along really doing well then disaster strikes. After a few attempts Alex is unable to right the boat, it's turned completely over. Having given up, on the advice of the other sailors, Alex sat on top enjoying the sun. Michael, Dave and Duncan to the rescue - Doug had helped launch the boat. We used an oar in the dagger board slot to lever the boat back upright.
None the worse for wear Alex sails back to the apron.
The course
Who cuts the grass and keeps the grounds tidy? Dave of course who was busy today
A very enjoyable day's sailing.
