Start at at mark near the end of the slipway, beat to black brea, reach to conniborrow, run back to the mark, twice round. Very strange weather. Started the race in a light f2. Lap one passed without much to comment on. As the boats neared the windward mark an indian monsoon appeared and the winds droped to nothing then shifted 200 degrees and blew for about 2/3 minutes at f4/5. Then the rain stopped the wind shifted about a bit more then stopped and sun came out and we all drifted home in less than a f1.
Thanks to George D for OD and Peter F Snr for rescue boat duties.

Shifty, gusty, windy day. Gusts and shifts baffled Anton H in race 1. Dermot M lost his rudder which was kindly rescued by George G. George G then retired from race 1.
Dermot M made repairs and was back out for race 2.
The Phantoms were out in force with Dermot M and Alan T having a great race.
Bill J and James J were sailing very well in strong winds.
Many thanks to Anthony G who stood in as OD

Light wind action tonight. A number of boats decided to stay on shore in view of very light winds. It was light but the winds picked up a bit toward the end of the race. One lap starting at the end of the slip, then Fahan, conniborow and back around a mark near the end of the slip.
