Not the most beautiful evening ever but the rain mostly held off. Until the end of the race when it didn’t. Arke was race officer and with a variable forcecast with the potential for it to lighten set a course to B off Silvers and with much of the race visible while sitting inside drinking coffee and eating shortbread.
Ceres made a good start and sailed a great first leg to round B first ahead of Catriona. But then on the run to G seemed to have spinnaker trouble. It went up. And then came down. And Catriona went past.
Dione looked like she would challenge but Ceres and Athene both held her at bay. The RO shortened the course to one round for the Garelochs and as they finished and headed for the moorings the wind died and it started to rain. It was a good call.
1 Catriona, 2 Ceres, 3 Athene, 4 Dione, 5 Thia (RO Arke)
