Win a race

There is a good chance to win a race this weekend as all the hotshots are overseas.
The small child in the picture was the 2016 & 2017 Sprint 15 National Champion!!!

Yes, and you've got to give people about half an hour on both races.

Very well done to Tony on winning both races yesterday. The handicapper has been informed.

Meanwhile you won't be too surprised to hear Paul won all four races at Marconi at the weekend.

Just because I had a good day is not a reason to penalise me ... honest ;)

Well done to Paul on a successful weekends result.

A move of 3 minutes on the start of the Pursuit race for 1 good result seems more than a little harsh, as does a change of 3'36" per hour on the Baker Challenge .... or does it not pay to have a good day :?

You have had more than one good day: 5 podium positions in 2016 so far - and second in the medals table. Now you have learnt where the buoys are and how to tack properly you should be unstoppable.

However - you would still have won the Baker Challenge race on the new handicap, and you will still have been 3rd in the race on the 27th.
