Racing today started at early at 10.00am. Gareth G and Richard G were sailing their family GP14 and have been awarded PY in the LFYC handicap. The first race started from the perch to powerstation to faughan to conniborrow X2. A big tanker leaving port caused the OD and the coxswain to delay the start of the second race while the tanker completed its swing around in Culmore bay. Once clear, the second race started. The wind had changed so the course was changed. Sailing now in Culmore bay, starting off the slipway to powerstation and harts and the culmore green mark through the line X2. The wind picked up to F4/5 and very gusty and changeable making sailing challenging.
Congratulations to Gareth G and Richard G who won line honours in race 2. Four boats crossed the line in 17 seconds making for an exciting finish. Congratulations to Anton H who seems to be getting the hang of his new Laser.
