What a great weekend for sunshine! It took the wind until 11AM to arrive, but it did arrive for the nine 8m’s on the line to battle out for glory. Ultimately it was Sarissa that found her way around the course with the greatest success – 1,1,1 followed extremely closely by the gleaming green Venture II who raced an impressive 2,2,2 with lots of boat speed, and excellent tactics. But it was Thisbe(3,5,4), Severn II(7,4,3) and Norseman(6,3,5) who battled out for the next 3 spots in an extremely close run – with Jackeen(4,8,8), Bangalore(8,6,6), Quest(5,9,7) and Ranja(9,7,9) each racing smartly on the North Shore of Lake Ontario.
