The third event in the Autumn series was held at Whitstable Yacht Club on Sunday 25th September. The day started with clear skies and steady 15 knot wind from the north. The long fetch meant substantial waves were forming providing some great downwind surfing conditions. The tide was rising to midday then falling after meaning we had to get the 4 races undertaken swiftly.
The tide proved to challenging in the morning flooding and in the afternoon ebbing but we were warned that the tide hav no slack period and would be moving fast after lunch. So we launched on time and went into sequence as soon as we could to get all 4 races completed.
Congratulations to the event winner Leo Yates with 4 1st places and a perfect score, and also being first at every windward mark. Rory Clow was second and very well sailed. Leah May was 3rd and first girl being the best result to date for her at a traveller.
In the 4.2 fleet there were 5 sailors, but a great battle ensued between Callum Harris and Sam Dence. Both kids won 2 races but Callum won the 4.2's on count back. First WYC sailor was
A huge thank you goes to our host Whitstable Yacht Club for organising a brilliant event, decent winds and setting 4 amazing races. We look forward to returning next year.
