Tamar 8
The winds were predictably fickle, swinging from nearly due south to northeast and gusty enough to cause two capsizes while leaving the fleet in the doldrums for five minutes just after Nathan Pollard’s Aero 7 had crossed the finish line. Nathan had started first followed by Bob Sampson in another Aero 7. Bob never really got away from the rest of the fleet; Dave Perrett’s Solo was only convincingly headed on the way back from Pinkie on the last lap. Dave had benefitted from taking the opposite tack to the rest of the fleet at the start and getting himself from sixth across the start line to third around the first buoy, Dam Green.
