There were 5 hardy souls playing Yachts @ the Canal today, Kermit & Predator with their big A Class beasts, Georgie with her DF95 (well her granddads actually), Dave W (granddad) with his DF65 & Stuart with his RG 65 with swing-rig.
The weather was pleasant, almost warm, but the predicted 10 to 15 knot northerly winds never arrived.
Later in the morning there was an ever so slight breeze so we managed a couple of races from the pontoon up to the top buoys (where the Marine Modellers hang out) and back. Stuart won both races convincingly with his super lightweight RG65 swing-rig yacht blitzing the heavier A Class boats as well as the DF65 & DF95. It will be a far different story with a bit of decent breeze but in the light conditions the RG reigned supreme.
I did have a slight handicap in the second race, managed to break the topping lift (the only piece of rigging I didn’t replace) whilst adjusting the jib between races, should have left it alone. Oh well, always next week eh.
A couple of videos

Sorry for the late reply Kermit, but I fell asleep watching your video.
Lucky you had Stuart there today, at least one boat was moving.
And yes, after I make sure our lot are set up, I go down to the jetty to make sure the old blokes there are also OK.
Good to see that you posted your video in 1080 first go this week.

Always a pleasure to have the likes of a sailing guru STUART sailing with us but we do however miss our CAPTN PETE on the jetty who is a wee bit crook at the moment we do miss our capt’n as does george’y who repeatedly said “wheres my captn ” almost in tears when told he was crook Big Bad Dave was very quite today unusual for him but that was because he heard the sinker was going to come up to the sunny end an we all know what that means yes recruiting … young fellas (our mob ) to push his mob around the beach so they can build sand castles whilst the carers play with the ol fokes boats …………………………….just say’n
