Report By Peter Jackson Photos By Paul Mallard and Peter Jackson.
Well the weather report was somewhat grim, but true to the tradition that if the event is advertised it will go ahead. There were six honest men turned up to do battle with the remnants of storm Brian. It still amazes me that such an easy to make model yacht copes with the most extreme conditions that would defeat most other classes. Yes there were some dire moments with a few pitch poles but most survived sixteen races.
