After last week's disappointment of no racing, this week competitors were greeted by a shifty and gusty north easterly breeze. 14 boats lined for the start with the fleet getting away first time.
Race Officer Iain Lamey set a well thought out triangle, sausage, sausage course, making best use of the water available. The first windward leg being short meant there was plenty of jocking for position around the first mark. Gerry Philbrick and Rob Walford showed good skill to make ground on the first triangle and round the leeward mark second behind Dave Tabb and Chewey Sherrell.
Dave and Chewey gradually extended their lead to finish first.
Race 2 Results: (top three)
1st Dave Tabb and Chewey Sherrell
2nd Graham and Ben Scroggie
3rd Bob Alexander and Huw Willetts
