Although we had 15 entries in ILCA division the conditions on Sunday saw 9 boats hit the water. There were some tired sailors back at the bar but they all had a wonderful time and great to see the fleet getting involved and growing. Brendan Jukes taking out the win. Unfortunately the conditions were not suitable for our junior sailors who will find another date to run their racing.
