46 boats turned up for the RS200 open meeting over the weekend of 8/9 September. They came from all over the country with the winner, Hamish Calder, coming from Glasgow.The weather was ideal for getting a sun tan, but not very exciting for sailing unless you enjoy the tactical challenge of shifty winds. The first race took place in a light northerly and everybody, including the race officer, expected a change as the sea breeze came in. But it did not happen. The northerly just veered and backed a few times but remained basically the same. The second race was similar, but the third race ended with hardly a zephyr. This turned out to be the discard for many of the leading boats.
The club welcomed the Mayor and his wife, plus sponsors and helpers who had made possible the aquisition of our new fleet of RS Feva dinghy's. Wine was poured by committee members whilst a wide range of canapes made by Christian were served by the cadets to the guests.

The keenly fought for Frostbite Trophy was won this year by Simba with Ricky Bruton and helmed by Bob Turner. A good turnout of 24 cruisers competed this year on a cold grey morning. Boats are traditionally gunned across the finish line outside the Clubhouse, by cannons. For complete results go to the Result pages. Cruiser IRC results are also available - for information only!
