With a great wind for close racing – 10-12mph from the East - blowing down the length of the Broad, it also turned bitterly cold – affecting the safety boat teams more than the sailors.
The Squibs saw Flame (Richard Smith and Graham Reeve) break clear at the start towards the port end of the start line and lead around the first mark, only for Clever Dick to find the right course downwind, gybing with the spinnakers up, to jump from third into first place.
On the second run, Flame followed their previous downwind course (where they lost out in the first run), this time to take the lead, with Brimstone following them into second place up the second long beat.
Paramour sorted out their tangles by the end of the day to just pip Clever Dick on the finish line.
