Easter Regatta 18th and 19th April 2025

Published 10:18 on 22 Apr 2025

On Friday we waited for the strong easterly winds to subside, they didn't, and racing was rightly cancelled.

On Saturday the winds were at the upper end of raceable and two races took place in challenging conditions, both for racers and those on Watchdog and support boats. A strong easterly and a lumpy sea resulted in some mid race retirements so special congratulations to all finishers.

Sailing impeccably Matt Wright and Alex Pepper dominated the fast fleet, whilst in the Scow Fleet Neil Peacock and Alison Boxall were the only racers to complete both races.

Prizewinners as below:

Fast Fleet

• 1.Matt Wright and Alex Pepper
• 2.Antony Oliver
• 3.Tim Read and Claire Lee

Scow Fleet

• 1.Neil Peacock and Alison Boxall
• 2.Simon Howell
• 3.Stuart Rowney and Rhona Copp

A special thanks to our team of Race Officer, Assistant Race Officers and Support Boat Helms and Crew who did the Club proud.
