It was back to Boskop for this event, with numbers no where near the heady heights they had reached in years previously. Just 60 Optimists and 58 Dabchicks.
The “Vaalies” (remember that word?) dominated the event with 4 in the top 10 Optimists and 7 in the top 10 Dabchicks.
Stefan Aspeling had won the Optimist event prior to the last race, with Malcolm Hall as runner-up and Shaun Carkeek in 3rd spot.
Looking down the results sheet is interesting as the names of some soon to be up-and-coming sailors are there – Melissa Rossaak, Alon Finkelstein, Greg Barker, Mark Sadler and others too.
