Lymington XOD Wednesday Series Week 2

by Rory Paton 9 May 16:33 NZST 8 May 2024

A cracking day to go sailing with the gentle south westerly sea breeze clicking in just in time, with strong easterly flowing tide.

Our race team lead by James Hoare and Chris Baldwick set a lovely windward leeward course from the Starting Platform. First away off the start line were James Markby's X Ray, Gill Elis' Heyday and Nick Nell's Dolce Vita.

X Ray managed the fleet well and lead at the windward mark from Lone Star and Mayfly. On the second run to mark Y ex Olympic sailor Barry Dunning and his Crumpet made a concerted move for the beach which payed handsomely moving from 4th to 3rd place

X Ray held off the challenge of Lone Star to win convincingly.
