2009 Autumn Series»RPCYC Autumn Series - Races 5 & 6
Saturday 5th December saw the fifth & sixth race of the RPCYC Autumn series.
Thankfully the weather abated once again to allow two races to take place with a variable force four wind which started as a WSW & gradually worked its way around towards the south as the racing progressed.
There was close racing in both the fast handicap & slow handicap fleets which saw a few capsizes here and there along with Graeme Macleod parting company with his Hobie Tiger in first race of the day.
The second race saw a few premature retirements due to gear failure ranging from a broken boom on a B14 to a hole in the bottom of Solo 986 caused by the owner putting his foot through the floor (I must go on a diet !!). Both dinghies got back safely under their own steam with repairs needed !!
