DF95 Scratch Round 3

​A difficult day at the dam today with very light winds until the last race by the sounds of it.

Big thanks to Les and Rod for taking the Pro duties for the day. Always very appreciated.

Stu Dawes came away with the round win today with 22 points - an impressive 3 race wins and worst counted score of 4.

Second place was Lisa Blackwood on 25 points. Three race wins and a 5th as worst counted. Also very consistent.

Third place today went to John Hall. Three wins in the first four races had him blasting out of the blocks nicely, maintaining some good finishes throughout with 33 points for the day.

In Silver Division, John Hall came away with first place, on 16 points. 
Phil Turnbull took home second place on 24 points, with Ian Hey just one point bfurther behind on 25 points.

One note from after sailing finished - and a call out for someone who may be "in the know.
Unfortunately, the knot holding the rescue dinghy came loose while being towed back to the lockup and the dinghy fell off the back of the trailer - sustaining some damage to the rear of the skeg, dragging a hole in it which requires repair via plastic welding.

Do any of our members know of a plastic welder that may be able to carry out a simple repair for us in order to make the rescue dinghy ready for service for us again? We should be able to make a temporary repair for Wednesdays sail day, but do need to get a permanent repair completed on it. If you know of somebody that can help, please either let myself or one of the committee know as soon as possible so we can get the repair organised.
