It was another very pleasant summer day with a light, but relatively steady, Northerly,. ‘A’ rigs were in fashion for this event. Unfortunately, there were only 3 competitors in attendance, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The boats were very evenly matched. (for a change) […]

The conditions were such that it was doubtful whether we would sail. ‘C’ rig was required—it was a real strong southerly.
