Taylor & Co Ladies Race 1

The Taylor & Co Ladies Twilight Series got underway with the first race sailed in fairly lively conditions, with the crew on Mayflower working hard and the skipper wondering if they should have taken the advice to use the smaller headsail. Glory Days gallantly decided to step down from entering the series this year after consecutive wins over the last few years. There were two new entries this year, Sniper and Toy Shop. Results pending.

Boat Bits and Car Boot Sale

The glorious weather that blessed the Boat Bits and Car Boot Sale at the club seemed to bring out every Man and his Dog. The bargain hunters arrived early and lots were very successful in meeting a mutually satisfactory price with the sellers.
