Race Day Two
The forecast for today was for wind up to 25 knots and the day started very cold with a light north west, swinging before race two to the South West building to approx 22 knots, with a large chop making exciting sailing conditions. This breeze held in for the three flights and then eased off swinging back to original direction of North West delaying the start of race three. After waiting for an hour the breeze again swung back to the South West at around 15 knots at which time the third race commenced.
