Event winner George Hunter gets a bit careless running down to the start. We've all done it: best avoided in January though!

Held today, 29th January, in very light airs: sorry. There was enough wind to sail, but really no more than that. Still, there seemed to be some very intense racing, so we hope people enjoyed themselves.

Congratulations to the winner, George Hunter from Haversham: it was a tight fought series, and coming into the last race George Hyett from Downs was ahead on points, but with a worse discard. In the event they were both down the pack, and so Hunter's previous discard did the trick. This promoted non-junior Clive Jackson into 2nd place. Crawley Mariner's Micahel O'Driscoll got himself up to 4th, and top squad-free sailor with a win in the last race. This put him ahead of Spinnaker's Rhianna Jackson, who was first female. Local sailor Alistair Smith rounded out the top six.

The full results are here.

Well, you've got to while away the time between races somehow. Why not raft up and have a chat?
