| Race two started in less wind that somehow managed to drop even further as the race progressed. First into a small zephyr this time was Matt Mee and Enna Norris from Hollingsworth Lake Sailing Club closely followed by Dave Derby and Alex Porter from Bough Beech. These two created a gap from the chasing pack led by Giles, Peters and Bradley. Peters broke clear of the pack while Giles and Bradley got swallowed up by it. Mee held on for the win followed by Derby, Peters and David and John Beaney from Casterways Sailing Club.
Lunch saved the competitors from any additional misery for the time being and eating outside in Weir Wood's glorious surroundings with the sun beating down made the morning racing seem worthwhile, although the ever present threat of having to go out again for the afternoon sailing was never far away. As it happened the threat was never realised for no wind appeared to ruffle the resevoir's mirror like appearance and the remainder of the races were abandoned.
For the record the event was won by Matt Mee from Dave Derby and Andrew Peters, all three being tied on 6 points from the two races. First Master was David Giles, first Youth Fiona Harrington and first lady Emma Derby. Thanks were given to the race officers as well as Barbara Hatton for taking the entries and working out the results.
