Squib Championships 27 June - 3 July 2009

dscn0751The Squib Nationals finished with an exciting but tiring final day.  Two races back to back in a stiff breeze made up for a frustrating day of black flags and flukey conditions the previous day; the lift-out of the fleet in Portland Marina went flawlessly and the competitors finished the day at the final prizegiving party at the Riviera Hotel.  The Nationals took months of planning and involved over 100 volunteers from the Club during the week. Congratulations to all who took part, either sailing in the event or helping in the support teams.dscn0773
