THE second race in the November Handicap Series at Arden Sailing Club (Defford) saw a big fleet of Solos take to the water against unusually a lone Enterprise.

The light wind at the start built up gradually to a respectable breeze as the race progressed, unfortunately the rain also became heavier.

After initially holding third place for much of the first lap, Andrew Potts gradually built up a respectable lead to take first place. Second was Ralph Evans and a very creditable third place went to Wayne Evans (no relation) completing his first race in the Solo. Fourth was the lone Enterprise of Stuart and Caroline Stephens while taking fifth place was Alan Browning, also in his first race in the Solo.

All members past and present are reminded that the annual presentation dinner is on November 22. For more information contact Ray 01386 554109 or Helen 01905 23298.
