Report
One race was completed to schedule on Friday.
However, due to the heavy winds on Saturday - gusting up to 29 kts - the PRO, Derek Bothwell, gave a 2 hour postponement, with racing starting at 1400. Only 1 of the scheduled 3 races for Saturday were run.
After a short postponement on Sunday, due once again to relatively heavy winds, racing got underway.
Hydrogen maintained their leading position after Sunday's two races to take the IRC title.
In ECHO, Turnabout jumped into the lead overall, pushing Saturday's leader, Buster, into 2nd place.
