A fantastic article from long standing members Greg and Tiggy about their experiences sailing with a large chunk of our club's history in there as well! Greg was our Commodore a few years ago, and Tiggy ran our Wednesday night racing for many years, including deciding personal handicaps for pursuit racing!

Together they organised Spinnaker's Firefly fleet from the mid-1980s onwards, when the class was, frankly, dying. Open house after training; Tiggy fed everyone, and Greg fixed everyone's boats.
