A blustery Saturday morning saw plenty of activity from enthusiastic otters, but less from the keelboat classes who were kept ashore for the afternoon because of the forecast winds.

Sunday saw the finale of the Snow Globe series with a great sailing breeze, some sun, and lots of close racing in the 22 boat fleet.  While Ben Harden caused no small amount of chaos by capsizing close to West Quay on the first lap, and the Wasps flying (literally…) in all sorts of exciting directions (some of which even appeared to relate to the course), it was the Blaze fleet who got to the front and enjoyed some close dices in both races, with the series only being decided in James Hutton-Penman’s favour in the final race, from Malcolm Hutchings and Nic Tolhurst !  Congrats to James, Malcolm and Nic, and thanks to the 46 crews who took part over the course of the series !  Also thanks to the race box team and safety boat crews for keeping things running smoothly and safely, and getting the results published so quickly.
