A quite blustery NW wind greeted the 7 J 24s to the start line on Monday, with a windward / leeward course between Stanz and NC2 being set. The start of the ebb tide encouraged some to sail into Parkstone Bay immediately after the start, which seemed to pay off. Madeleine and Jolly Roger set the pace with Flying Colours, Crackerjack and Jobs for the Buoys in hot pursuit. However, an audacious tactic by Vinyl Solutions to sail into the Wytch Channel, brought her back into contention.
A long beat against the tide ensued and a second lap, full of mishaps, one lost halliard, one grounding, and a few sandy bumps followed. However Madeleine held on to win with Jolly Roger not far behind. Vinyl Solutions just managed to pip Zaphod at the last !!
Result:
1st Madeleine
2nd Jolly Roger
3rd Flying Colours
4th Crackerjack
5th Jobs for the Buoys
6th Vinyl Solutions
7th Zaphod
