Two races were held and a fuller report will follow with the rest of the results when obtained.

Flag Officers’ Day – Saturday 1st July There were 3 races, open to all members and all fleets, senior and junior with races run on a progressive handicap system with mass starts so sailors of all levels would have an equal chance of winning based upon an average lap time! Racing was followed by an evening BBQ. 20 took part in the races which were sailed in a shifty s'easterly and the first race was for a Richard Murray trophy (He has donated trophies for many years from his extensive stock of prizes won over decades of successful racing). It was won by Bob Suggitt with Rob Lennox 2nd and Hannah Lennox 3rd. Three races were held overall and races two and three were on a handicap basis with another Murray trophy awarded for overall winner. Ruth Lennox was 1st, Rob Lennox 2nd and Sarah Bown 3rd. Congratulations to the winners.
