Not the kindest weather for the final weekend of the Illusion season, however it could have been worse and at least the drizzle on Saturday held off until the finish of the last of the four races for the St George's Day Trophy.
With all four races counting (i.e no discard), Rory was first overall with 6 points; Owen was second on 12 points and Caroline was third on 13 points.
Fortunately the heavy overnight rain had stopped and the sun was clearly trying to appear for the eight Illusionists who wanted to join in the traditional final race(s) of the season for the Woodford Long Distance Trophy early on Sunday afternoon. Originally forecast as a F5 NNW, it had backed to the W/SW and reduced to the top end of a F4.
After a briefing to explain what was planned, the eight boats made a clean start and headed up to a laid windward mark which they rounded to starboard; then it was out of the harbour to Garland (port), Nainby (to starboard) and a finish at the Tide Gauge.
Two days of surprisingly good racing to finish the 2023-2024 season. We look forward to seeing the fleet back in early October for the start of the 2024-2025 season.
