Race 1 started with a SW force 3 and a strong incoming tide. The strength of the tide caught out most of the leading Lasers with Steve and Jason both doing turns but with Steve just holding onto the lead ahead of Bob; Bob showing that his time out of sailing had not reduced his ability. The race settled down with Steve leading from Bob closely followed by Jason and Robin. The second lap now had more fun and games at the windward mark with Jason overhauling Bob, who now realised that he was sailing without battens. Steve extended his lead for a comfortable win over Jason in second, with Bob and Robin battling hard for third with Robin prevailing at the line.
Race 2 saw a drop in wind strength although the tide was still strong a and catching sailors out at the windward mark. Jason got the tide right and sailed clear. Steve fought back from fourth to second with Bob (now with two out of three battens) overtaking Robin who had a second lap to forget! Jason extended his lead to win from Steve in second. It was again nip and tuck between Robin and Bob with Bob missing out again in fourth.
Thanks to Sam on Rescue with Corrado stepping in for a no-show and Helen on slipway.
