A dozen keen Solo sailors joined the Laser fleet for what is a regular fixture in the diary. The Royal Harwich Solo fleet is slowly building with other new recruits waiting and watching on the side-lines having seen the colourful forecast this may have deterred a few more entrants.
Race Officer Dr Chris Brown held a briefing and introduction that this was going to be back-to-back and he aimed for 4 races. Racing was going to held on the top of the tide, making the best of the Orwell. White horses could be seen in the channel with the wind arriving from the Orwell Bridge the scene was set for some challenging racing.
Thanks to all the Race Committee and some very busy support crew.
Royal Harwich Yacht Club welcomes Solos and dinghies to both their Sunday Open Winter Series starting on the 23rd October and Freezer Series starting in January 2023. See www.royalharwichyachtclub.co.uk/racing/open-racing-events for more information.
