Ronnie Richardson Sail Trophy 2009 - Round 5


Report by Nick Clayton, thank you Nick

Well what can I say...

The day started with absolutely no wind what so ever.  A hastily called meeting between the skippers at 12H30, we’ll wait another half an hour to see if we get any wind. Twenty minutes later and the wind came so Round 5 was on its way.

The wind continued, which allowed us to complete the three races. Class C even got an extra race in – marvellous.

Here are the latest points standing:

On a bit of a sour note – once again we had several incidents where skippers flaunted the rules – this has to stop now as it is ruining the races.

After consultation with members of the sail committee it has been decided we are going to implement a protest committee which will be called upon if any skipper wishes to protest against another skipper. We will explain how it will work at the beginning of round 6.
