Light winds F2-3 with strong tides made todays racing very tactical.Congratulations to Dermot M who was sailing well in his new ICON class dinghy with Owen McC.

Dermot and the ICON have been awarded an LFYC handicap of 1127 (the same as a fast GP). Congratulations also to Alan T who sailed Dermot M’s Phantom with great expertise.

I did not see this race but can see from the results that Danny and Gareth G are sailing very well, setting themselves up very nicely for the GP14 Worlds later this year.

LFYC Handicap notes: Danny and Gareth G LFYC handicap will be adjusted to 1127 from this point onward.
