Whitstable Race Results 2021

A day forecast for a gentle breeze gave us more than three hours of 10-15 knots higher than expected, wind against tide.  By the time of the first race at 2 pm the morning’s gentle breeze had freshened to a north-easterly F4 gusting F5. It stayed that way for much of the afternoon.  Races were a blast around the buoys, pretty well on the brink of sailing, though helped by surfing the rollers downwind and by the flow of the outgoing tide for the beats. The morning’s calm did not return until the boats came ashore.
