B Fleet protest hearing: Fir Na Tine won the protest over Kinsail in last week’s B fleet race which moved Chickadee into first place, Lindisfarne into second, Fir Na Tine third, Big Dipper fourth and Seven Belles into fifth for that race. Kinsail was disqualified.
This week, Kinsail got some revenge as it beat Fir Na Tine by two minutes to take first place on a windy night. Chickadee place third and Lindisfarne place fourth. Big Dipper and Seven Belles did not compete. With one more race scheduled in the July series Chickadee leads the fleet by one point over Fir Na Tine. Next week should be exciting with the series title up for grabs.
