A combination of holidays and the very low water level at the lake meant there were only a few boats out to race on Sunday 4 September. At least, there was a pleasant southerly wind unlike the still conditions of the previous week.
There was an unfamiliar dinghy out. A Buzz had been brought along to gain experience of a trapezing dinghy. With a large asymmetric spinnaker, this would be a very fast boat on more open waters. Jacob Din, and crew Kieron Freer, tried hard but could not gain the advantage against the usual suspects.
The day was won by Martin Brennan in his Solo with three race wins. Graham Knox and Kevin Parry were out in the second and third races in a GP14 and took the runner up spots. Dave Smith, in his Phantom, came in second in the first race and then third place. He was competing against Nick Brook, also in a Phantom, who got away into the lead in the second and third races, but suffered from gear problems and did not finish.
