Great weekend on Benone beach, no shortage of wind. A bright and breezy weekend with great sailing and craic on and off the beach.
Saturday was wild but dry and bright with winds of 30 mpg and much stronger gusts. The challenging conditions made for great practice and rig testing as well as plenty of fun.
Sunday – Miniyacht Races.
Forecast for Sunday was always a big question with the ever changing predictions all agreeing on winds of over 25mph up to 40mph but differed on deciding if it would be sunny or wet, cool or freezing !
In the end it was F3-6 and dry and sunny ( mostly ) and those who travelled and were not put off by forecasts were rewarded with a super days sailing and racing. Thanks to the Racemaster and race officials, Robert Finlay, Tristyn Whitehead and Aidan Doyle.
Next outing is Carts and Coffee social day on Bettystown Beach 7th March ( Day Landsailing Taster experience available on 7th ).
