A series of extraordinary events today.
In the first race there was a general recall.
In the second start Bill J and Ciaran M (great to see him sailing again this year) capsized at the mark. Anton and Jack H got a good start but followed the Gallaghers around the wrong mark, followed by Bill J and leading to the OD call the race off (head in hands). Attempted start number 3 went well but then lightening stuck and the race was abandoned.
After a short wait on shore the lightening passed away and the OD instructed boats back out.
In the second race some boats went around the wrong mark leading to several DSQ’s. Congratulations to Jack H who was sure he was right about the course marks – and it turns out he was!

I remember this race. There was a nice reach down to the Fahan mark but it was bumpy. Ken and Davy L defended Anton H all the way down with the Laser showing some nice boat speed on the reach but suffering in the waves.

And so another Season in LFYC began. The Gallagher brothers showing great speed and team work. A pair to watch in the GP14 national league.
Yes, its July 22 and here I am publishing results from April. A bad case of work getting in the way of sailing!
