SAILING REPORT

After a wonderful gourmet dinner, sponsored by Hardys, on Friday evening it was time for the Hardys regatta. Surprising rain is still with us so wind was not as good as expected. However, 39 boats still managed three races within the harbour. As always, Hardys were generous sponsors and provided free wine for all plus trophies and prizes for the winners. Many thanks to Judi & Wayne.
