The BBC weather forecast for Putney on Sunday looks reasonably OK for Ranelagh race with 9 mph northerly wind i.e. beat and run. XC Weather suggests up to to 13 mph northerly.

Hope to see many there and tonight at the dinner. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich which will be given to the first "Vintage" boat based on the handicaps in the 2008 Yearbook, sail numbers 3429 and below.
