Race 6 - BMYC Racing Series - August

Six skippers enjoyed very nice conditions ( sunshine and variable breeze, mid size rig's ) for the sixth event in the club footy race series. Things got off to a slow start re course setting ( I blame the OOD oh yes that was me, oh well) but it was eventually sorted ( thanks to Mike for his mark laying boat and John for the buoy's). As usual the majority of the competitors used Peter Hendesons 1299 design the exception being Johns Half Pint 2 ( Bill Hagerup design). Una rigs again were the favoured style with only Sid using a swing rig. Grahams boat again went well taking the win ahead of John who was pushed hard in some races by Sid and a rapidly improving Brian Morris who scored several 3rd's and a 2nd  (well done Brian). Of course improvement in the performance by some results in poorer results for others with Peter finishing lower than I think he would have liked and Mark who I think was a little race rusty, keep it up guys we have a very competitive field and it's good that we have a diverse range of classes within the club, we just need to encourage a few more to embrace Footy's to get the numbers up.Thanks to the Galley crew again, that cuppa went down well.
