First weekend back after the Easter hols (Easter Weekend) was the start of the sailing season at Peterhead. There was an excellent turnout and 3 good races in a light breeze. We had two excellent starts in the first and thrid races giving us two wins but got caught up in the mellee in the second race and had to go back as we were forced the wrong side of the start mark, given we gave everyone a head start a third was not a bad result. Weather, as the photographs show, was fantastic.
The next weekend was better, three cracking starts in pole position netter 3 wins, even my crew with her high standards thought that was OK although it didn't stop a little mutiny over using the gennaker, she was for using it, the skipper had sussed out that on the short legs you lost more time putting it up and down than you gained by having it up! It took the use of the gennaker in the second race to convince her!!
