Mirror crews who attended the highly successful Winsford Flash SC annual Mirror Open Meeting on Sunday 19th June were blessed with almost perfect sailing conditions - a force 3/4 north westerly blowing the length of the lake combined with brilliant sunshine. The high class field which included five UK World Team qualifiers made for some interesting racing.
Three Mirrors joined our fleet for the Annual Open Meeting.
The FIRST RACE was sailed in light winds and visitors took first and second places and this set the pattern for the day.
Seven of the nine qualifying events have now been sailed, but at the time of going to press results are available only from the first five. Unfortunately, entries are down on last year with three of the five events having six or fewer entries. From the results available no-one has yet sailed the four events needed to qualify, so at the moment it looks wide open. The two remaining events are at Burwain on 2nd Sept. and Nantwich on 24th Sept.
In the midst of a mid-summer heatwave competitors at the Huddesfield SC annual Mirror Open on 26th June had to contend with light north-easterly winds and a thick blanket of FOG.
