Saturday dawned with a forecast from the met
office for force 3-4 later 5, what
transpired was force 0 with some sunshine.
To avoid any risk of sunstroke in February,
most people decamped to the bar for rugby
and beers, and the wait for the front coming
in from the west.
Sunday was very different with rain and
force 4-5 for the 18 entries from Wales and
the South Coast. Racing was held over a
short course in Chichester Harbour.
Race 1 Pete Greenhalgh lead round the
windward mark followed by Alex Koukoourakis
and Matt Humphries, at the finish it was
Greenhalgh with Humprhries emerging from a
tussle with Koukourakis third.
Race 2 The lead was fought over between
Koukorakis and Greenhalgh with many place
changes, eventually Greenhalgh got through
upwind to secure the victory.
Race 3 Again Greenhalgh was the early leader
until a capsize (happens to the best of us
!) handed first place to Humprhries chased
by Lee Allbrecht, at the finish it was
Humphries from Allbrecht with the now
upright Greenhalgh in third, although both
Humprhries and Allbrecht were both OCS
handing the race and the meeting to Pete
Greenhalgh.
Overall the event was a great curtain raiser
to the season and allowed a few of us to
dust off the cobwebs.
