Guildford Model Yacht Club - Raters

Frensham 10 raters 25 April 2018

Some of GMYC members spent the day at Frensham today racing 10 raters.

Brief report by Roger: We had some horrible rainstorms followed by calms and associated changes from the perfect westerly wind direction. However the racing was good and occasionally there were some very good screaming planes off the wind. I was very pleased with the way my UP was going in the lighter and top end of A rig and at lunchtime I was leading. However the best of the 10 raters, David Potter from Birkenhead and Dave Andrews from MYSA caught me up when I changed down to B rig for a couple of races. All four Guildford boats finished in the top 10 of an entry of 18, 12 10 raters and six Marbleheads. From what I can remember Martin was sixth, Alan was eighth and John Townsend 10th. We all enjoyed it apart from the rain!
