Everyone except the wind turned up for the first Wednesday race of 2021, following the relaxation of lockdown rules this week. Two Phantoms of Kevin Milton and
Duncan Adams
were first over the start line. Sadly these pair were the only two that qualified as having started, with
Peter Hampshire
, Malcolm Davidson, Brian Davies and
Andrew Goodman-Smith
all on the pre-start side of the line after the first five minutes of the race.
Having started well, Kevin Milton decided to sail backwards to the start line, perhaps he was not happy with his first attempt, and then decided enough was enough, leaving Duncan battling it out with… Well…. Himself. Having not reached the second mark after 30 minutes, race officers
Jonathan Adams
and
Nick Marlow
decided enough was enough and abandoned the evenings racing.
