Bembridge Illusion weekend racing - 18 November 2023

Although racing was originally scheduled to be for a new Trophy, the disappointing forecast kept numbers down (eight boats on Saturday) and with no racing on Sunday because of the strong winds, it was decided to just call it a 'normal racing' weekend.

With Chimet reading F8, and a nasty wind over tide chop in the harbour, Sunday afternoon's racing was cancelled. This meant that with only three races completed the overall results were based on all three races counting and no discard. With three 'firsts', Mark was the clear winner; Jo was second a point ahead of David.

Early starts for next weekend's Picnic Hamper!
