• Very light wind (1-2 knots??)
• Brian & Flo decide to launch committee boat, which surprised a number of participants due to the light wind conditions. However, it proved to be the right decision, with a simple course being set in the middle of the pond where most of what little wind there was, appeared to be located.
• K. Brereton entering the racing following a long lay off.
• A short start line was set, with what seemed when the race started, a small number of boats were ‘on course side’ of the start line. Did not hear are a call or notice the appropriate flag flying.
• Two ‘Phantoms’ & a laser were first to the windward mark, with the laser on the inside deciding to use to his advantage the starboard rule to take the Phantoms well beyond the mark.
• The three participating Phantoms soon overtake the Laser, to sail their own race.
• Three circuits of the course, the Phantoms leading the way with K.B. loosing none of His sharpness for sailing in the very Light wind.
• I think all boats completed the same number of laps, some obviously taking longer than others.
