The 2020 SoPYC
Grand Sponsors Regatta
This is a chance for the sailing minded grand sponsors to do their stuff on a bunch of matched Bakewell 8's. Taken in care by Race Officer Les Swinton and guided by young gun sailors who either helmed or mentored the crews on the boats. Great fun for all. I did notice a few protest flags being waved and one or two boats making challenging moves on the water, but it was all in good fun and it was a great day out.
I left around 1900 hrs as the light was disappearing swiftly but the last 10 images on the slide show tell their own story. The start of race 4 and the complete disregard of the starters instructions to stay behind the line until the flag dropped. Only two boats actually were competing in that race, the other four were on the wrong side of the start line when the flag dropped. (OCS) Well done boats three and six, the rest copped 7 points against their score.
Enjoy the photos and as usual they are always for sail! $20 each or $50 for three. E Files only.
