Twenty-one Yare & Bure One Design keelboats contested the Dolle Cup at Wroxham Broad.
The first race was sailed in sunshine and a light north easterly wind, enabling Race Officer Paul Barker to set a simple, yet challenging figure of eight course. Chris Bunn and Nicky Tansley in Fox were chased by Henry and Simon Whipp in White Admiral, with Ian and Laura Tims in Scarlet Admiral pushing hard.
During the second race, an unexpected shower saw some crews rushing for waterproofs, others just getting wet. Predictably the rain killed off the wind, but once again it was Chris Bunn leading Henry Whipp at the finish, this time ahead of David and Nicky Talbot in Red Admiral.
After a French themed evening "par excellence" on Saturday, the fleet gathered on Sunday morning to a light south easterly breeze. Paul Barker set a course with three short beats across the broad, but this wind direction is notorious for being very shifty, even for Wroxham Broad! Race three saw Patrick and Julia Richardson in Vanessa, Robert and Sally Self in Clearwing and David Talbot all challenging for the lead and moving away from the rest of the fleet. However, by the finish Chris Bunn and Ian Tims had joined the group, with Chris Bunn winning from Patrick Richardson and Ian Tims third.
In the final race, Ian Tims had found his usual mojo, leading from the first round to win ahead of Chris Bunn, with George Williams in Alder Kitten coming third ahead of Flip and Richie Dugdale in The Miller.
