Thursday

The fleet assembled early in Sligo this morning, ready to embrace a day that offered the prospect of 4 races. As usual the speculation was on what the wind Gods would give us: the Sea Area forecast had promised F4 – 5 moderating to F3 – 4, XC Weather were talking of 15 – 20 knots moderating to 10 – 15 knots. That brought varying degrees of pleasure to the fleet!

In the end the wind ranged from 16 – 21 knots during the races with gusts of around 23/24 knots in-between, direction moved during the day. Conditions were excellent for Fireball sailing with moderate seas and a steady breeze, which was its strongest during the first race, and three good races were completed before the fleet returned ashore. more...
