Founders day

Righty, this weekend saw the redesmere 50th anaversire dinner and then the founders day on the Sunday. Race one on Sunday saw jimmy still in bed with a hangover and wondering whether there was any wind..... anyhow jimmy finally got his arse to the club, and saw brian herring sailing very well to win the first race in suzzy wong. Jimmy proceeded to bugger around and nearly miss the start of the second race, tho he was on the line but facing the wrong way! Doh! Anyway race two saw jimmy lead from the front and never really troubled, tho some dodgy maneuvers could of made him look silly! Race 3 kicked off with jimmy getting the best start off everyone, not bad without a watch, and sailed off to a 3 minute lead. Peter Baldwin did eventually catch him up but jimmy jst steaped it up again and finished a minute in front of peter who was 3 minutes in front of tim lowe and wilf ford, with brian in fourth on the water. The last race Saw jimmy and Brian level on points, tho jimmy was unaware of this fact but it soon became obvious to him as brain tried to take him out tho jimmy was just too good. The wind left the course after lap one leaving jimmy and tim with a ten minute lead!!! jimmy followed tim home but taking first overall

All in all it was an awesome weekend
