There was not quite as good a turn out for this year's Christmas Cracker as last year, but with Omicron on the rampage and at least one regular stuck abroad (David P in Val d'Isere), one injured (Jo D with a sore shoulder), and a few others committed elsewhere, it certainly could have been worse!
The easterly F4 breeze on Saturday and an empty harbour allowed the Race Officers to set a good long course for the 14 boats racing. After a clean start the majority stayed on starboard and headed over to the St Helens shore.
With five wins and a discard of a third in the last race, the Christmas Cracker was well and truly 'pulled' by Mark with 5 points; Bruce was the runner up with 13 points and Colin was third with 14 points.
In theory the next regatta is for the oldest Illusion trophy, the Icebreaker, which is programmed for 1st/2nd January but no one is holding their breath! Fingers crossed though.
