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!
