The first RC1000 class regatta of the season was held over 15/16th May at the Royal Western Yacht Club. The forecast was closely monitored by the race committee, as the potential was that the Sunday could be blown out, so a change to the schedule was announced to enable 4 races to be sailed on the Saturday: as opposed to the original 3 with a further two on Sunday.
Ten boats turned out for the first warning signal at 0955 and were welcomed by a fresh south-westerly breeze with a forecast increase in pressure with a high chance of rain.
