The final race for the GFS 2015-2016 season was sailed in balmy conditions – warm temperature with little wind. The wind apparently was somewhere from the North or North West or West, who could tell. There was barely enough breeze to fill spinnakers of those who decided to carry them. In the case of Gwhizz they seemed to sail quite well without using a kite.
Initially the fleet in both divisions stretched out only to bunch up at the shortened course finish. In all a memorable day to end the season.
