What would have been the 3rd race in the Spring Series was cancelled due to a deteriorating weather situation

Race 1 of the summer series 11th May 2011
Course B1
Weather Strong and blustery from the west
Well the first race caught most people out as a lot of boats were still being rigged
4 boats decided to make a race of it and elected to go out in very squally conditions - Tir na Nog were hampered before they left the mooring with a stron wind making it difficult to leave
results are posted up in the clubhouse but in summary
Class 3 - one finisher - Taurus
Class 4 Won by Goosander with Soirse being second
Lets hope for better weather and a better turnout for the second race 18th may
