Thrills and Spills on Gusty Saturday

Spring/Summer Handicap - 28th July 2018

High gusty winds were forecast for these two S/S Hcp series races, but it didn’t deter seven hardy Wellys – Charles Adams, Nigel Davis, Dave Lambert, Peter Thornley, Mike Caddy, Annette Walter and Will Etherton – from going out and doing battle. They treated us to a virtuoso display of planing, controlled gybing, and capsize-and-recover manoeuvres. It was all very entertaining. When the results were issued, Race Officer Charles, said “Mike Caddy did very well today but didn’t do 5 laps in race 2”. Annette Walter came 1st in both races. Will Etherton fought a great fight, but came 7th and 7th. Congratulations to all of them for “giving it a go”.
