Horning Sailing Club enjoyed a brilliant Regatta Week from Saturday 30th July to Friday 5th August with plenty of activity both on and off the water.
Regatta Weekend began on Saturday in warm and humid conditions, with light winds signalling the start of the Club's annual Regatta. Racing this year took place on the River Bure outside the Clubhouse and, as the first warning signal sounded, the wind started to pick up. In a break from tradition, the River Cruisers sailed a downriver race to Ranworth, and were momentarily joined by a Wherry on the start line!
The traditional cannon signalled the end of the week's racing as the last boat finished. Those taking part spanned all ages and some boats had seen three generations racing together. It was particularly encouraging to see the spirit and enthusiasm of the young sailors who supported each other all week - making new friends and just loving being on the water. Overall, it had been a fantastic week's racing and, in the evenings, great socials on the Island.
