Report by Nick Clayton, thank you Nick

Once again the yacht racing was held in light winds – this is becoming really frustrating, especially when other Sundays during the month have much more wind...

Round 4 was the first round in which there were three classes competing. The newly formed ‘Class C’ got to race each other without being ‘blown’ away by the Seawinds. It should be noted that the banter has come back between the ‘Class C’ competitors, which is brilliant.

Round 4 was also the first round where an elected skipper (I believe it was a very democratic process in which someone was well and truly ‘stitched up’) from each of the classes has a say on how their class race is run. The outcome of this was that the ‘Class A’ yachts would only do 4 laps compared to the 5 laps the classes were doing.

On the 24^th May – AMBO held one of their championship rounds at the Mote. They must be the luckiest skippers around because they had the best wind of the year so far. Thanks to all those who helped out on the day – lovely sunshine. It was even suggested that someone brings down a barge, just to see if we can get any better wind...

Anyway, here are the latest points after Round 4.
