Big winds at Grafham Skiff Challenge
The Grafham Water SC Skiff Challenge, doubled up as the RS500 Inland championships on the weekend of 28/29 June. The RS500s made up only 4 of the 30 entries, but we punched above our weight in the overall results.
A relatively low proportion of the total number of entrants finished even one race, but the 500s all completed two, and three of us did all four. Although the wind was strong, it was still quite shifty, and it was very easy to gain or lose significant distances upwind, particularly as the wind strength didn’t encourage frequent tacking.
