Congratulations to MYA President, Derek Priestley on taking the Marblehead Veterans Crown.
A good days racing with 16 races completed in winds starting at 6 knots and ending on 13 knots gusting 15.
This lead to changes of rig during the day to save being too over powered.
There were a few drop-outs through gear failure during the day. Mostly these were all fixed by the time racing was finished, ready for the start of Ranker 4 on Saturday morning
Five brave sailors turned out for the weekly race, B rig, boots and raincoats.
8 races were sailed before the weather took its toll.
11 races sailed.
6 races sailed
