Just prior to racing this Thursday evening (1815) you can see the handover of a torch from the 1948 games in Torbay. This torch has travelled along the south coast relaying between the sailing clubs on its way to the Academy.

In the vicinity of the committee boat, the torch will be presented to Michael and Diana Gill on Snowgoose, representing WSC and RDYC, by a flotilla of yachts from Lyme Regis Sailing Club. They plan to bring the torch around the Bill on Thursday.
The torch will be in the club after racing and go across to Castle Cove for Friday but will be back with us on Saturday for the regatta party, so please come along and see it if you miss the handover on the water.
