      Puddleduck Combined Sailing DF65/RG65

      The sailing was difficult in the light fickle conditions we faced today. With the wind speed varying from 0 to maybe 5 knots and direction NW-SW, it was difficult to pick a course with far too many course changes that we preferred. Credit to all the sailors today that put up with the constant changes and tried their best in the conditions.

      Combined Class

      The trying conditions moved a few of our better sailors further down the list today. That said, the usual podium finishers were still up there and congratulations to Bluey for winning the overall combined class again today well ahead on nine points after drops.

      DF65 Class

      Scores were fairly evenly spread in the results with Lisa in first position on 14 points followed by Trout in second with 16 points and Phil T in third on 18 points. Well done to DF65 class podium placings.
