Racing Marks

Sunday 4th January was a perfect day for lifting the Club's racing marks. The forecast gave light winds after a seemingly endless nor'easterly which has made the bay uncomfortable for weeks.
During the winter each mark is inspected, cleaned, worn chain or rope replaced and letters repainted.
This time the task was made pleasantly straight forward by using Woody's fantastic dive boat, which was very generously loaned to the Club at short notice.
The job was completed by a strong team of hardy volunteers. Many thanks to Woody, Steve Fraser, Steve Dadd, Ricky, Alan and Jake who braved the freezing conditions and the surprises that each chain produced. Fans of moules frites take note - Mark I is the place to go !
