Sailing conditions were again perfect, a northerly force 4 to 5 breeze and a bright blue sky. Our start boat was Tigerlily who started us at The Rig Shop with a gate start. The course was start at The Rig Shop, beat to Branksome, run to Stoneways Marine, broad reach to Chalys, beat to Stoneways Marine, reach to Bar Buoy and a beat to the Finish Line.
A power boat race was also in progress in Poole Bay but to the East of the area we used so there was no conflict, (unlike a previous year)!
