The weather forecast was very poor for today's event with strong gusty winds and downpours predicted, thankfully the weather stayed away, unfortunately so did the skippers with initially only four turning up. The regular skippers who did turn out can only be described as stalwarts, Rob Yates of the local Anglia Marine Model Club came for some advice on a Footy he has under production only to find he was offered a sail of Paul Risdales Puma305. Considering the exalted company he was sailing with he handled the situation very well, having the good grace to accept being given position on the water a number of times, however he also managed to complete a couple of races just behind the rest of us, and on one memorable occasion came in fourth.
