Two races were scheduled this year during August.
Both events were sailed in very light winds ,the first from the south bank avoiding the patches of slime that have been hanging around for some weeks.There were five competitor for this day which produced some very close racing,and each of the five skippers won at least one race.
For the next event on the 23rd we had expected to sail off the south bank again but the forecast westerly breeze turnd into a northerly,so we moved to the west bank which turned out to be the right decision.
The racing was again very close this time with six skippers sailing.Slieve seemed to have got his boat well tuned and produced some good results including winning the last race by some hundered yards.
Simon had some winch problems and had to leave early which hampered his results.There was plenty of good humoured banter on both days and Slieve was presented whith a bottle of wine for his ever improving performance.Most of us seemed to pick up small bits of weed at some stage but fortunately it has not been a major problem this year.
We stopped sailing at 1.30 this day as the wind faded to a complete calm.
