Hi Steve, was there a result? Barely a whisper of breeze at Weston Super mare on Saturday. Couldnt see anything on your web site

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply!

Yes believe it or not there was a result, it was a very, very slow first half to the monkstone when those that got there just in time to not be pushed back by the tide got around and caught the easterly breeze (if that is what you could call a wiff) which seen 5 boats of the 20 starters make the line in Jacksons bay by the 5 hour limit.

Eventual winner corrected from handicapps was "Pepper" from Porlock taking the top money prize and race trophy.

It was a great day in all with visitors from all the usual channel clubs and very nice to see a south shore boat take the honours for a change!
