Summer All Class Handicap Day 1 – Results
The event Sunday 4 February was Day 1 of the Summer series All Class Handicap, and was held at Aotea Lagoon.
The weather that greeted the skippers was ‘not the best’–a blustery ‘northerly’ but sunny. The Lagoon is not known for good conditions at the best of times, and it certainly lived up to its reputation this time around.
The gusty conditions soon found the weaknesses in a few boats. Russell was one of the first casualties, followed very closely by Rod. Both pulled out in race 5, and Ed followed in race 6. Great to see Chris again. Congratulations are due to Peter (winner of the event), and Bruce for coming second.
