no race held yesterday but 4 boats blag flagged for the race when it does get held as they tried to get a start off in no wind and strong tide with blag flag up and it was recalled. matt biggs one of them. launched today for 2 races in very fresh breeze - jacko reckoned he'd sell mast or two. fancy dress night was quite lively - wombles, wig wams, wasps, washing lines, willie wonka, willie the whale..

Is it not strange that in the linked report in Y&Y the coverage of social events appears before an overview of the racing?  Has the main business of the week become subsidiary?

The web cam tells a sorry story today with many retirements. Looks as if the Pirates, Monkey Business and Scroggie mobiles had wheels fall off today. Could not see where Glenn/Olly finished but looks as if Tricky Dicky/Sall came second in the last race today. Report will be in first thing in the morning. to confirm all

Looks as if Taxi/Ellie won today followed by Tricky Dicky/Sally and then Glenn/Olly. That would mean that Glenn/Olly would win on most wins.

Will confirm soon

What happened to race four then? I noticed that half the fleet recorded a DNF. Was this just because it was run back to back?

If you can understand it, here is the Y&Y report.
It seems as though only 40 boats went out for the 2nd race that day.
Hope this helps.
