Lipton Cup Challenge Starts with a Bang |
 |
 |
 |
|
With the first race today, scheduled to start as the Athlone Towers met their fate, sailors from all over the country braved the lumpy seas and cold rain to compete in the opening race of this year's Lipton Cup Challenge.
One of the unique features of the Lipton Cup Challenge is that there are 3 required courses and it is customary for the Race officer to attempt to set the most difficult course, a square, on the very first day of the regatta. After dealing with the constantly shifting winds, Di Hutton-Squire, the Race Officer, decided to abandon her attempt to make use of the square course and set a windward, leeward (like a sausage) course as the first race. With the new course set, the sailors jostled for position and started the first race at 1310, only to have the Race Committee call for a General Recall after a large number of the yachts were across the line at the start.
