A most beautiful day, a lovely south easterly breeze, sparkling green water, and warm sun - it makes up for all those excruciating hours spent in freezing cold barns or under tents, putting the 'makeup' back on our old ladies. Once again the tide was the key to this race, those that stood out on the first beat had the advantage and on the final run Pepper sailed a blinder by going out into the stronger tide and made up hundreds of yards to beat Kathleen to the line.
Nanette (previously Lodestar - Keith has given her back her original name which is much prettier) showed us all a clean pair of heels and led the fleet home. There was an exciting finish between Dux, Magic Dragon and Mischief with little to call between them.
