A SSW breeze at the start area.. with puffs on the water.. wind range 6-12knots. First start was a General Recal.. then a bit of confusion in the fleet as to whether the next start would be the restart of whether our class would be relegated to the back of the starting order... Some boats got this wrong. In the end we got an OK start and raced off to the first mark of the Raddison.. relying on the puffs to keep going, with the faster boats in our class rounding ahead of us.. Immediately set of for Number 1 harbour mark with a bit of fresh breeze behind and a slight windshift which allowed us to catch some distance on the lead boats, then around the mark and to the finish, we noted two wind patterns on the water so made our selection to try and stay in our existing one, which allowed us to catch up more distance on the lead boats.. ending with just crossing the finish line just after them. Overall we got a first  in our class. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Cath, Arran, James and Antonio
