Sunday 16 January 2022 – Six Metre Day

Conditions

Cool, cloudy, wind west south-west, becoming westerly force 2 to 4.

Those racing from time to time were: Grant, Leslie, Hugh and Jim.

Wind on the pond was moderate with shift westerly later in racing session. Local shifts on the pond tended to favour which side of the course was getting wind. We sailed six races altogether. Jan joined us at the end of racing, he had been away for previous events, but will come to future races.
