Twenty Cadets turned out to race for the Whalley Cup last Sunday. Seven Lasers, five Picos and a RS Feva were competently sailed, all making a good start and completing 3/4 laps of a Cadet course. The conditions were perfect; 12 – 15 mph winds in glorious sunshine.  Congratulation to all who sailed, but particularly to Katy in 1st place, Henry in second and Luke in third.  Full results click here.  Choose Class: Cadets, Series: Whalley Cup.    Our thanks to Graham Dare RO and his team for a grand job!
