The second round of races for the Ronnie Richardson Sail Trophy was contested on Sunday 30^th March under cloudy skies, with a hint of rain, and a very light to non-existent wind.

It is ironical that whenever our yachts take to the water for a race the wind dies - sod's law comes to mind!!!!! But I must say that the breeze, for that's all that it was, did put in an appearance at times in all the races.

The water level on the lake was high, in fact it was flooded, in the area where the races are normally contested but thanks to the bailiff's co-operation we were allowed to operate in waters generally for the exclusive use of the anglers. Our thanks go to the Angling Society's bailiff for his understanding of our plight and his permission to sail in their waters.

In Class A we had four skippers contesting the races and the honours on the day went to Nicholas Clayton with two wins - Dave Tucker was the victor in the other race.

Class B had nine skippers out on the water - Anthony Sisley won the first two races and Chris. Harding took the honours in the third.

Class C, for marbleheads, only had one skipper present and he had a comfortable afternoons sailing to take the honours in all three races - yes, we made him actually take part in each race.                    

The leading position after two rounds is as follows:

The next round, round 3, is to be contested on Sunday 27^th April commencing at 12.30 pm.
