The first leg of the North Wales Dragon (Youth Travellers) Series took place on Sunday 14th May.
After a training day on the 13th which included the club's annual Bangor Pier Race (training?!) won by a Mirror, 14 Tera and Toppers had 4 races in varying conditions from the gentle 10-12 kt South Westerly to the more exciting 18-20 kt flat out planing with a few spills (but not many).
Held over a neap tide, racing was nearly but not quite tide free, courses were set to avoid the worst of the tide and with increasing winds, post lunch, a simple triangle provided challenging and exhilarating sailing.
