Cheers,
At what time are they racing? I was there probably until 7 / 7:30 yesterday and nobody was racing...
Was lovely to kite with the sail boats in the back though...

I remember seeing this a week or two back, i was probably out from 6-7:30ish and i didn't see anyone racing either.

I don't know much about it - but it starts around 630 normally - There would be a second mark upwind from Brighton Beach for the top mark. I have seen people meeting up at the beach up by the SHQ van for a pre-race meeting and then heading out.
The "Wednesday Wonders" is a casual race evening for sailors, to get new people into it - it's not too serious and nobody is allowed to use Spinnakers (which to me make it boring).
