Today’s task area was to the south of the club with two options given:

A.      SU2 – KNA – GOO – SU3 – SutFinN = 149.1km

B.      SU2 – KNA – YOE – SU3 – SutFinN = 98.7km

Task Bravo was called and the grid started launching from around midday with the start gate opening at 12:55 on Task B. Most competitors where quick off the mark with the entire field starting within 20 mins of the gate opening.
