A small gathering of National 12 sailors gathered at Spinnaker on 1^st July to enjoy the racing, sunshine, breeze and idyllic location. Four races were sailed with the best 3 to count. The sun shone and the breeze was pleasant force 2 for most of the day.

Felix Newall-Smith and Izzie Gill-Taylor took the early lead in the first race in 3154 leading round the windward mark with a tightly packed fleet behind. David Wilkins and Adele Cameron (3481) managed to gain places by sailing below the fleet on the broad reach past the island and finally caught crept past Felix on the next leg. These 2 boats stretched their lead over the followers with Steve and Robbie Adshead finally taking 3^rd place.

In the 2^nd race there was much place changing but by the final run, before a very short beat to the finish it looked as though 1^st & 2^nd would either Mike Day and Anne Murch (3496) or Steve and Robbie. With the latter challenging all the way down the run the two went higher and higher leaving just enough time for David & Adele to pass both, sailing the straight line on a gentle gust below them. The Adsheads’ challenge was successful and they gained the inside position at the mark to take 2^nd.

Races 3 & 4 saw David & Adele taking a fairly early lead, which they held to finish with Mike and Anne 2^nd and the Adsheads 3^rd.
