Everyone had lots of reefs in and all the boats were very lively. Some withdrew at an early stage. I was steering the boat. We had difficulty furling the jib which took a while to sort out and did not make a good start- we were 20 minutes late over the start line. Once we got going though we had a good sail and passed several boats.
It was a handicap race so the outcome was hard to predict. However at the prize-giving that evening we found that we had come around 15th out of 20 who finished the race.
The picture shows Susan J under reduced canvas. Dave got a shiny trophy to put on display, polish regularly and return next year.
After the prize-giving there was a hog roast, music and dancing and general festivity.
No pictures Mikey 😮ðŸ˜
