Over the weekend of 25th and 26th June, 18 Contenders entered the sixth leg of the Allen Travellers Series at Highcliffe Sailing Club, a venue that has hosted many a great Contender event over the years. The weather forecast promised mostly blue skies and no shortage of breeze from the Southwest, which also some meant there would be some decent waves to play with.
Having heard the reputation of the Contender fleet for jumping the gun on occasion, the Race Officer made clear his intentions by hoisting the "I" Flag for the very first start! Which by and large worked well, with no general recalls all weekend and few individual ones either.
Highcliffe SC must be congratulated for putting on an excellent event; the race committee, rescue crews, catering staff and all other helpers made it a most enjoyable weekend. The Allen Travellers series goes next to Weston Sailing Club on 16th and 17th July.
