Midland Area Championships
Light winds on Saturday only allowed one lap of one race to be completed. Sunday
morning was very foggy with no wind, By 1.00pm the fog had cleared and a breeze began
which built to allow two exciting races. However, despite a convincing win in the third
race, this was not enough for David Wilkins to retain his title as John Best had won the
first two races. Third overall were Richard Phillips & Peter Doran and on equal points
in fourth was Julian Bridges crewed on Saturday by Cathy Bridges and on Sunday by Cathy
Goodwin.
AGM & Dinner
The AGM was held on Saturday 13 October 2001 at Rutland Sailing Club. Peter Doran was

secretary and continues to maintain the boat register. Julian Bridges joined the committe.
The accounts were approved. It is hoped that all FD owners will join the Class in 2002 for
the 50th anniversary celebrations
