It was 80 degrees at the start of Rob’s workshop at 10.00 this morning. Rob covered the basics of DF95 setup and provided examples using several members’ boats. He then went on to discuss the latest thinking from experts in the sport. Finally, he gave some great advice on rounding the marks on our tricky course, covered the inside, outside overlap rules, and suggested that we should all “think vertically” when rounding a mark.                                

Rob got a well-deserved round of applause. Thank you very much, Rob. 

Eight members put boats in the water and ran seven races. The tide was very high, and the light wind was from the southwest. The start line was formed by the DroneBuoy and the pin, and the course was south to the blue mark, the north to the pink and white mark and back to the line. All marks taken to port.

 I couldn’t stay for the racing this morning, so Judy and Connie looked after starting, scoring and judging. Thank you very much

The results are attached.

DF95 racing will resume next Tuesday, August 19th, when the tide will be at a low at 10.30.

If you haven’t, please let me know if you’ll be attending our Club Dinner on Sunday, August 24th .

Take care,

Derek
