Last weekend saw the Saltash Sailing Club hold its annual Dinghy Regatta. The weather played its part with some nice wind but not being absolutely roasting! After racing on Saturday the BBQ was lit and everyone spent an enjoyable time in the evening sun having a cookout and discussing the days event.
32 boats took part across the weekend, which is a fantastic turnout, and it was great to see boats from TRSC, PYC and TMSC.
This event counts towards the Armada Sails Dinghy Traveller Series which culminates with the Royal Western Yacht Club Final Fling in October. Details of the series can be found on the PPSA website.
There were 4 classes slow, medium, fast handicap and the ILCA combined.
Winner of the slow handicap was Grace Davies in a Topper.
Winner of the medium handicap was Steve Robert’s in a Solo.
Winner of the fast handicap was Chris Lloyd in an RS 400.
Winner of the ILCA combined was Sebi Schmidt in an ILCA 7.
Thanks go to all the safety boat crews and the RO, Richard Kingsnorth and Trevor Bardwell-Jones for the use of Inky Paper as committee boat, with line crew, Trevor, Derek, Debbie and Demelza.
Without all these volunteers events like this could not take place and we are incredibly lucky as a club to have so many willing volunteers.
Many thanks to Paul Gibbins photography for his pics of the event.
