Fun Regatta, 9th August 2026
The annual Fun regatta was held on 9th August. Early in the day there was heavy rain with a light wind, but as the day progressed the rain stopped and there was afternoon sunshine. Light westerly/south-westerly winds provided pleasant sailing conditions.
Two races were held on triangular courses, with good reaching and beating legs to test skills. There were only two ‘novice' helms, with the rest of the group just out to enjoy some relaxed racing. Sue Signer came first, with Suzanne Roger second and Robert Duncan third.
Some photos of the event are as follows. (Click to see a larger version of the photographs.)
