Seeing as how “The Admiral” had sent his apologies for not attending today we will try a slightly different report format for this week starting off with the Scoresheet from today’s DF95 racing.
There were nine skippers competing in today’s hotly contested racing with podium positions changing on most races.
Whilst there were a few very strong gusts early in the day (some changed to “B” rigs – but not for long) overall the predominantly N/Nwesterly winds were kind to us and produced some extremely close finishes with many of the fleet finishing within a boat length of one another.
Thanks to all who attended, including Tony (who was boat-less today due to a faulty winch) and Phil for keeping score and doing his level best to keep us all honest.
Hopefully, me spouting less words, will encourage others to add their thoughts on the day
(that’s other than Kermit, who always has his slant on the day and whom we thank for his continued support of the forum).
Here are a few more pics, not up to the usual standard but I only had the phone today, too busy racing to get the big camera out.
More pics from today are available here

Thanks for the score sheet and the photos Mike. The score sheet is a nice addition.
The Duck was at it’s variable best. Duck luck was evident, both good and bad, and it helped keep the fleet together. Very few runaway winners today. Lots of close finishes, and quite a few collisions in the gusts.
Ron dominated with some fountain time. The rest of us looked on in awe. Boats caught on the starting line buoy (twice) will not be mentioned.
Thank you to Mike and Phil for a great day of sailing.
Did anyone miss the heartless old bloke who used to use black sails?? I didn’t think so!!

THANK YOU MY ADMIRAL for those sterling words of encouragement although your solution for improvement is a bit worrying maybe its a nautical thing but for the life of me I cant see why ” pulling my socks up ” will improve my sailing but your the boss maybe elastic bands around the top will work i’ll give it a go……. always grateful for expert advice
