Roger has just returned form Gosport after the first 2 days as RO.
“After all the recent good weather Sunday’s was appalling with heavy rain all day and blowing a gale from the south giving reaching conditions both up and down the lake.. Monday had the same wind direction, but much lighter with all in top suits. 6 young skippers/mates were thoroughly enjoying both the conditions. Even younger sailors competed in the Choppa race at lunchtime, where these 12” boats with no steering raced the same course with the winner nearly reaching the end before hitting the side.
Cheers Roger
