Dragon Force Model 65 (DF65) Racing
November’s racing proved a mixed bag, winds generally from the North – North East at 5 - 10 knots. The surface weed hazard is abating somewhat, but sub-surface weed was a problem for several sailors during the month.
Results for the month:
November 5: 24 degrees Celsius, light winds and showers.
