Round Eight of the Wee Nip Challenge took place at Hollowell Sailing Club on Saturday 20th August 2016, and was hosted by Abington Park Model Yacht Club. Peter Shepherd volunteered to be the race officer and set a two sausage coarse via an downwind gate and then a triangle before crossing the finish line. The wind was westerly and gusting strongly but with some severe lows at times, so it paid to be in the right place at the right time. Tom Steel was unfortunate to lose his rudder mid way through the event but stayed for the results. Most skippers fond the conditions somewhat tricky, but others just got on with it and made the best of it they could.
