Sun and light winds greeted the first three races with the locals in 908 and 819 fighting it out with Moss / Berriman in Wet & Windy followed up by the Hollingsworths. Day 1 honours went to the local knowledge at RSC.

Stronger winds on day 2 and the visitors in ISOTonic found their feet to split the RSC teams with a 2nd, 3rd and 4th, aiding their Pro partners in 643 to a 1st. The racing continued to hot up with the fleet finishing closer together in every race, the whole fleet finishing race 6 within a minute of each other!

Monday gave us slightly better winds again with the visitors in ISOTonic 1st and BISOtted in 3rd sandwiching 908 to the delight of all three crews. The competition continued right to the last race lead by Moss / Berriman and Metcalf / Webber with the Syretts breaking through for a well deserved 3rd.

The RWO Pro-Am series was won by Dave & Steve Hollingsworth in 643 partnered with Bob & Luke in ISOTonic.

Thanks to RSC for well organised racing, again. And to the Buzz and Hobbie Classes for their hospitality alongside their Nationals over the Bank Holiday.
