Ten International Fourteens travelled to Portland for the 2022 Skiff Open. The two-day event joined together Musto Skiffs, B14's, Cherubs and I14's, providing a great opportunity for the 14 to show what it could do. This was also the first opportunity of the year to get the fleet on a big course so that true pace could be gauged ahead the Nationals in a couple of weeks time.
With day two looking iffy on breeze, the race officer (wisely) changed the plan for day one and signalled his intention for 4 races. With a gently building 8 knots it was set to be a glamour Portland Harbour day out.
With day two abandoned due to no wind, this was all the racing we got. Fortunately, it was epic! With tight battles throughout the fleet and the top three separated by 1 point each, it is going to be a titanic battle for this year's honours.
