After another week of wet and windy conditions, the weather window over the weekend for the Valentine Trophy was certainly a relief. Mind you on Saturday, the main concern was whether there was going to be enough wind to make racing viable.
In the event and after just over half an hour postponement, seventeen Illusions were very well behaved and the first of the races got away cleanly.
With the breeze flicking 20 degrees at times, it was always going to be a bit of a lottery.
With a number of the more vociferous helms elsewhere in the world, it was a very peaceful weekend! Congratulations to the Valentine Downers who were overall first and second. Rory was third and Owen was fourth a point ahead of Oliver.
No racing next weekend; the one after (24th & 25th February) is the National Championships with the annual Class Dinner on the Saturday evening.
