Ladies Plate 27/09/2009

A great turnout of seven provided the largest fleet for the Ladies Plate in over ten years. A great start by Julie Rust meant she was the early leader and holding off, many of our leading lights for several laps.

Andrea Murhpy also had a good start and slowlyy moved into the lead, extending it throughout the race to eventually in quite confortably to retain the plate she won last year.

Carol Gimson had a close race with Juli Rust, eventually coming second with Julie third. Lou Davensac also had a good race at one stage passing Mike Pritchard on the run. Ju;ie Warren,and Emma Clayton in Toppers and Linda Kay in a Miracle also sailed well but as is often seen the smaller and slower boats very rarely sail to their handicap at Attenborough.
