We had a very encouraging turn-out of 65 boats for Spring Race 2.
At the end of the race we had 62 boats finishing which was good to see. The last of the boats were finishing after sunset, so we would like to remind skippers to keep a torch trained on your sail number and make a radio call as you finish. We would also like to remind skippers who withdraw from the race to make a radio call to the Starters as well.
We had some technical difficulties at the start, which caused the start sequence to be delayed by 10 minutes. In order to be ready for this sort of late change, we advise skippers to listen for radio calls from GFS and to watch the flags. On this occasion a series of four radio calls were made to alert skippers to the change.
We wish to thank our Course Setter Mark Rhodes and our Starters, Hugh Vaughan and James Curr.
