A number of visiting boats joined club members for the Richard Thacker Memorial Regatta at the Welland Yacht Club.
Thacker was a past Commodore of the club who passed away in 2017 and the club’s open regatta sees boats competing for this trophy.
With excellent conditions, a total of 17 boats started the first race and the start line was not a place for nervous sailors.
It was an excellent day’s racing for the club and the visiting sailors and Thacker’s son James presented the winner’s trophy to Alan Bishop from Hunts Sailing Club.
Prior was second, visitor Steve Bishop took third, with Bell in fourth ahead of Powell in fifth.
The remaining Welland boats were Cox 7th, Chapman 8th, Mark Holland 10th, Mitchell 12th, Follington 13th, Boyd and Bonser 14th, Richard Holland 15th, Van Haren 16th, Murray 17th and Agar 18th.
