Weymouth sailing today

Hot weather and hot action were the key topics for todays sailing at Weymouth.

Sunbursts, a Topper and a Beachcomber made up the fleet.

Proving the "handicappers of old" correct, the Topper managed to keep close to the quicker Sunburst, and well ahead of the slower one.

At the end of the long beat, the Sunburst was easily out in front of the Beachcomber, with the Topper a way back in third. On the downwind run home, the Topper rapidly made up ground, closing the gap on the other two boats before the finish, but not quite enough to get past.

Here's a couple of pics from afterward - sorry, my camera stays on dry land!

Love that sky!

The makings of a good racing fleet happening here!
