The morning dawned with plenty of rain and a forecast of high winds, but the weather cleared around noon and the races were on! Sonny and Sue Buck from Midland brought the Flying Dutchman they are in the process of restoring. The low freeboard was handy when Sue fell in after the races!
Sonny holds the handcrafted rudder that came with his Flying Dutchman. In his first race ever, the rudder snapped snapped in two. Bill loaned him his extra blade and Sonny was back on Sunday to place 5th in the Portsmouth A fleet.
