It was great to see dinghy's in the harbour racing again. With boats entering the race from around the country their was a mix of boats and catamarans and all age groups were represented.
The tides and winds presented a challenging course at times but everyone enjoyed themselves and of course there was a great BBQ and Chilli waiting for everyone for the evening.
The long distance race presented a bigger challenge for some of the boats, whilst others were going so fast it was hard for the safety vehicles to keep up!
This is the first Open Dinghy Race that the club has held since 1978 and it will be the first of many.
