An impressive fleet of twenty-two boats took part in the Loch Long One-Design National Championship from 24th to 29th July 2022 on the Clyde. The event was hosted by Cove Sailing Club and supported by a number of generous sponsors including local businesses and private individuals.
The fleet comprised of eleven local boats and eleven boats who made the near 500 mile trip north from Aldeburgh in Suffolk with no less than 4 previous winners joining the fleet. They were competing for the Clyde Cup which was first presented in 1953 and the event also marked the 85th Anniversary of the Loch Long Class as well as the 50th Anniversary of the host club.
A total of 6 races were successfully completed and race officer Murray Caldwell set some fantastic windward-leeward courses. The majority of the races were sailed in wind of 10-18 knots and the competitors were treated to a mixture of wind directions and weather conditions. This made for good tight racing and this was reflected in the results with one of the races won by inches and there were two dead-heats further down the fleet.
The week was rounded off with a prize-giving and buffet at Cove Sailing Club and Cove Commodore Wells Grogan thanked all those involved in putting on such a successful regatta. It was great to see new boats joining the fleet this year and both the sailing and social events meant that a good time was had by all.
