Bradford Cup Classic & Vintage Vane M Club Event 8th June 2025

Four skippers  entered the event, a little less than the norm due to others sailing at various away R/C fixtures. The wind was strong westerly so 2nd suit sails were used by all. Unfortunately there were no mates present to man the opposite bank to the skippers, so racing pairs were sailed one at a time with skippers of the other pair acting as mates.

Beats and runs were sailed in heat 1, then for the safety of boats and skippers, it was agreed to sail beats only, as yachts were coming downwind very fast for the capabilities of the competitors present. Two rounds were sailed.
