Squib Gold Cup 15 May 2009

A great weekend was enjoyed by the twenty-one boats participating in the Gold Cup. Average wind was perfect but nearly all of it was on Sunday. Nevertheless, seven of the eight races were sailed, thanks to excellent race management and the Cup went North for the third time in four seasons as Dave White & Pete Balham (83 Easy) secured victory by staying in the top three in all races (except their discarded seventh). They were pushed hard by Nigel & Jack Grogan (105 Comfy Helmut) and Robert Coyle & Mel Titmus (823 Humphrey). A lengthier report will appear on the websites soon… honest! Yeah sure…
