The forecast for Saturday was 17 to 28 knots offshore and so it turned out to be. With three races held on a windward-leeward course, huge speeds were seen downwind in the big gusts with only the tips of the rudders just in the water.
These conditions led to a few capsizes and pitchpoles. Overnight leaders were Rob Garcka and Fi Goegebeur from Worthing SC, winning two of the races.
Sunday was a very different day with very light winds and the local team of Dave and Louise Roberts (Stokes Bay) getting two bullets out of three races sailed, giving them the overall win. Second went to Rob Garcka and Fi Goegebeur from Worthing SC and Paul Grattage (Stokes Bay) sailing single handed in third.
First on Handicap was Will Stephanou and Amanda Jenks Stokes Bay, Second Gary Piper Stokes Bay and third Debs Waters and Barry Peters Worthing SC.
