A nice mid to top end A rig breeze welcomed 15 skippers for this year’s team race. Teams were divided in to four with the best three finishers from each team scored on each race. In the end, after 10 races, it was the White Team of Bill Culshaw, Jim Findlay and Victoria McNulty taking the win narrowly from the Blue Team of David Catherall, Lisa Reeves, Ernie Rice and Rob Walsh. The day once again proved a success for the concept as club members of mixed standard benefited from working with and learning from their team mates.
