Races 1 & 2 (Mirrors start after the Enterprises)
11 Mirrors gathered to contest the Western Area Championships at Looe SC over the weekend 1st & 2nd October. On Saturday there was a gusty 4-5 NW wind with squalls and chop combined with a SW swell making conditions very challanging. Joe & Jack stamped their authority with 3 bullets. Sadly Archie Hawkins & Jack Stevens capsized at the final mark in race 1 while lying 2nd and this put paid to their challange.

The Notice of Race has been corrected, the 1st race is at 11:30, not 11:00.
