The 2.4 fleet joined the Challenger fleet at Rutland for their National Championship. The rain on Friday morning was a little disappointing but by the time racing had started it had dried up and the wind had filled in.
The breeze was shifting a lot with place changes happening often. One trick was apparently not to go where the swans were eating weed. In the last race Johnny managed to nearly take a race off Megan who took a clean sheet for the weekend.
Over Saturday night there was much talk about who was close to who and who had to beat who. The forecast for Sunday wasn't great and the actual wind was about the same. The fleet launched into patchy breeze and sadly it never settled down. Apart from a good gossip not much else happened that day as the wind wasn't playing ball.
The fleet is looking forward to a better circuit next year with hopefully a fuller year of travelling. Some of the fleet are heading to the end of season event in Antwerp later in October.
Many thanks to Pete and Rutland Sailing Club and to Richard and the Challenger class for a great event. Special thanks to Ben and Sean for getting the fleet on the water each day.
