Moderate breeze of 12kts and glorious sunshine allowed for champagne sailing. At the gun the fleet bunched at the pin end in anticipation of an advantages left side. This left a line for those opting for the committee boat end. Team Scotland sneaked past first at the pin end bang on the gun with Mango Jam right on their transom - after a very tight beat with most heading out into the estuary to try and pick up the flood tide the Scots boat rounded first at the top mark. The larger rigs on Mango and Atum Bom soon told on the downwind leg with Will and Lucy in the Bom storming down to the bottom mark in first. The Flying Kipper sporting her retro aluminum rig with mainly 91 rules sails was still in hot pur-suit and the frisky conditions ensured thrills and a few spills for all. By the end of the first lap the 97 rules Team Scotland in Born Slippy had slipped back to 4th with Fuzzy Logic now pressing hard astern. The waves made for some exciting surfing. Matthew on the Kipper was very glad of his new foot straps in the swell. Largo Bay is famed for its fairly short steep waves that fetch over several miles from Edinburgh and spectacular Pentland Hills behind. Further tight racing throughout the fleet followed with many boats trading places. Lap2 saw Will & Lucy clear in front followed by Mango, the Screamers, Fuzzy Logic and Born Slippy. The weight of the lardy scots was begging to tell against downwind making them fifth at the bottom mark but buy the end of the third and final lap, Atum Bom took line honours with Mango second and the local boys Team Scotland a career best 3rd. The screamers had lost out thanks to a spot of trawling at the bottom mark, followed by an enforced swim to retrieve the big rag. Cherub stalwart Suicide Blonde (now a fully upgraded Bistro) was by now really shifting and came in 4th. Lost in Space - with a half-converted 2005 rig - took advantage of their upwind speed to climb from 3rd last to 5th (just behind Simon and Ian), Aqua Marina, Flying Kipper, Primal Scream, Squid Pro Quo, Sweet Dreams, Shiny Beast, Beer Monster, Loco Perro & Oops Again all crossed in the next few minutes making 14 out of 18 finishers in a breeze that was encouragingly strong in the gusts.
