A fleet of thirty-one National 12s assembled at Felixstowe Ferry SC for the Burton Week regatta for four days over the August bank holiday weekend. The event was kindly sponsored by Allen Sailing, with further support from Heart of Suffolk Distillery, Dinghy Shack and BillieBox.
The sailing area was blessed with outstanding conditions on each day, and the local club put on some exceptional racing. East coast locals Tom & Isobel Stewart dominated the competition winning 5 of the 7 races including the iconic Sir William Burton Cup.
After a number of early arrivals on the Friday evening, the main event kicked off on Saturday 27th August with a warm welcome and briefing by the Commodore of FFSC and PRO for the event, Roger Lewis, assisted by Richard Keyworth, the ARO and George Finch, chair of the N12 Class.
