The promised stiff breeze and anticipated boat handling test quickly fizzled away to light breezes right after the Laser start. This left a lopsided race course with no option but to bang the right side on the beats, practically joining the queue for Teddy's Ice Cream on the shore of Scotsmans Bay. I'll have a flake with that please.
It was good to see Theo Lyttle back out on the race course after a long break. He pushed Paul Keane right to the end, particularly with some magical mystery in-phase attacking leaps on the last beat.
Richard Tate did enough in his RS to claim 2nd spot and the podium was completed by Colin Galavan who only got past a storming Alan McNab (in a rare outing - let's be seeing more of you!) at the final leeward mark.
There was a fine gathering in the RIYC afterwards for a plate of food, a drink and good chats. Welcome Susie, Joan and Peter - our new Laser Radial squad who we hope to see training on the race courses in preparation for next year from now till the end of season.
