Well Club 500 is back with a bang, what a morning. Cracking turnout with many of the usual faces and a few new ones, new boats, used boats it was to add up to another close race. 10 racers meant 2 heats of 5 boats running round the freshly laid out course to the recommended 30m x 15m by Chris, Dave and Rob using our new (much safer) rescue boat. The usual thrills and spills took place with Chris being the first of the year to upturn her boat, although I managed to do the same in my following race by hitting the lap marker bouy, I couldnt even blame another racer but I did appreciate the laughing and jeering honest :D. Rob was able to make it a treble for us and upturn his boat in the final race.
The results were close with less than half a lap covering the first few racers.. well done guys and looking forward to the 24th which hopefully will see the return of Paul, Jack and Jay.
The usual pleasure sailing took place from the landing stage and then a few Mini Monos took to the water with our plan to have a test race... to be fair that didnt quite go to plan with a few failing boats but I guess that was the whole point of a test race.
