Overy Staithe SC kicked off their 2022 season with four days of racing over the Easter weekend. The conditions couldn't have been much better, with sunshine and a nice breeze encouraging a large fleet out on the water.
A total of 24 boats took part in the three-day Easter Trophy event, with Alex Scoles claiming overall victory in his Europe dinghy. Duncan Ellis claimed second in his OK with Lucy Lamont third in her Laser Radial and Ash Deakin (Laser full rig) in fourth.
Sailing at Overy Staithe is heavily tide dependent, so racing on Friday and Saturday saw the fleets enjoying the evening tides and sunsets, with Sunday and Monday being 'racing and then home for breakfast' sailing!
The next event is the club's Sharpie and Europe Open over the May bank holiday weekend. The fleet will enjoy an evening race at 18.00 on Saturday 30 April and a morning race at 07.00 on Sunday 1 May; what better way to spend a weekend?
