Despite a patchy light Westerly wind forecast, Papercourt saw a good fleet of Laser sailors turn up to the 2023 open, including visitors from 6 other clubs. In total, 7 Papercourt sailors, and 7 visitors split as 8 ILCA 7's (Full rig) and 6 ILCA 6's (Radial rig).
In the ILCA 7 fleet, Bruce Ramshaw (Papercourt) and Neil Crosby (Bowmoor) shared first and second places in both races, with Bruce clinching the decider to win overall. Third place went to Colin Carver from Wembley, with Julian Barker missing out by one point.
The ICLA 6 fleet was won by Samson Cross, from Shoreham. Kevin Pearson from Thames SC gained second place and Niall Maynard beat Liz Hill-Smith in the deciding third race to clinch third place, both from Papercourt. All races were edgy close sailing and not surprisingly, no swimmers today.
With thanks to our race officers, safety crews, and galley for an excellent day despite the fickle light winds.
