Cup 10
Weather: grey, drizzle (which turned heavy during race) & light SW wind.
4 boats set off across the start line, Dave Perret’s Solo 1st round Dam Green closely pursued by Nathan’s Laser, followed by Vicki’s Topper and Brain & Tash in the Bosun.
Dave & Nathan took different routes back down from Pinky but met again near the end of the lap and were neck-and-neck to Dam Green with Nathan just rounding the buoy first.
Wind still poor & drizzle non-stop, the race was shortened as Nathan crossed over the line at end of Lap 2 after gaining some distance from Solo, with the Topper retiring at the same time.
Nathan crossed the finish line first with a time of just over an hour, Dave finishing a few minutes after, followed by the Bosun after another 30mins had passed.

Frostbite 2
Weather: Light rain & light breeze from the south.
With just 4 hardy souls wanting to return to the water, the 5 minute horn was sounded as soon as the 3rd boat had left the jetty as to reduce the time spent in the damp weather.
The wind had improved a little and Nathan completed his first lap in under 10 minutes, finishing the race with a time of 33:50 and Brian & Tash finishing at 42 mins whilst Liam had retired after finishing his second lap.
