Terry Curtis proved un-catchable on a windy Saturday at Isle of Sheppey YC, leading from start to finish in races 1 and 2 at the OK open meeting. And although briefly overtaken in race 3, he went on to claim his third win. Behind him Mike Edwards was mixing it with Gavin Waldron, Keith Byers and Ian Harris. Some seriously good surfing and planing made for a great day’s sailing.

Overnight Curtis looked secure in first place. Sunday proved altogether different with a fickle breeze and hot sun. Edwards relished the conditions and punished the fleet with stunning light wind speed, covering Waldron to take race 4 and defending from Cutis to win race 5. Race 6 completed his three wins for the day as he resisted a late tacking duel with Harris to take the days honours.

So with discards applied, the overall win went to Curtis, with Edwards in 2nd and Harris 3rd.
