Well done to everyone who sailed the aptly named Frozen Sheets Trophy today. There were many spectators keenly watching the start having been entertained by RFT and Tubby Duce throwing themselves in the water just as they left the slipway. Congratulations to Mike Lennon for winning the trophy for the second year running.

A fantastic start to the Winter Series, when I looked around everyone had big grins on their faces! If you want to join in the fun, get your entry form and remittance in double quick. If you are out there racing and haven’t got round to sending your cheque in yet, then you need to send it to the club secretary straight away otherwise disqualification will be the result!
