Squib Picnic Race
Perfect weather for the Squib Picnic Race made a wonderful day's sailing for the six Squibs who took part on Sunday 16 August. The race was started by Saskia VI with Mark Bugler, Rima Bascombe and family as Race Officers. A quick beat to O was followed by a spinnaker run to Ringstead. The Squib
s tied on behind anchored cruisers who joined the Squibs for their day out and Adrian Patterson and Nigel Lawrence in the safety boat ferried the crews ashore. The beach was warm and sheltered for the BBQs on the pebbles. The return beat back to O in a brisk wind was won by Alan and Deo McDine in Posh Totty but the overall prize for both races was won by Vernon and She Taylor in Hussy.
