FLEETWOOD 18TH & 19TH OCTOBER 2025

Saturday 18th October

Fourteen entries registered for the event, representing Datchet , Fleetwood , Gosport, Hampton Court, and Leeds & Bradford Clubs. The wind was fairly light, blowing from the SE. Most yachts were using their “A”  Rig Sails. Nine heats were sailed leaving 4 for the following day. The fleet was a mixture of Vintage, Classic and more modern designs. The leaders after the 9 heats were:

Lewis Wyeth 42 points, Shaun Wyeth 39 points and Peter Whiteside 35 points.

Most of the competitors met for a meal at the North Euston Hotel on the Saturday evening. 

Sunday 19th October

The wind on Sunday morning was from the same direction, but stronger, so most yachts sailed in B Rigs. The four heats were sailed to complete the full round, then the prizes were presented by Race Officer and Fleetwood Club and MYA  President., Derek Priestley
