Thank you to all those who sailed yesterday in the Hunter Cup and Rebellious Bowl – it was a great turnout.

Thanks must go to Mr Phil Hunter who joined us on the Committee Boat and saw the racing. Mr Hunter asked us to make this race a memorial to his late father Dennis who died in the last week of August 2012.

Congratulations go to the winner Robin Foster-Taylor who shared the Firkin of Ale with all those present in the bar last evening – well done.

Mr Phil Hunter is keen to come back next year and support the event in this way again.
