Cadet Open at Frensham Pond Sailing Club

 64 sailors arrived at Frensham Pond Sailing Club on Sunday 19 March for the annual Frensham Cadet Open meeting. Seven boats had travelled from Waldringfield SC and six from South Cerney SC, and the car park was soon full of home and away sailors. Bacon sandwiches were the order of the day, whilst boats were rigged and friends met again.

Four races were planned, and with a dying breeze forecast Race Officer Martin Goult (himself a former Cadet Class Measurer) briefed a format of three races before lunch and one after. Extra layers and extra snacks were acquired and boats headed to the water.

Whilst the sailors were on the water for the last race, Mums were treated to a well-earnt slice of cake and a glass or two of pink fizz - the least they deserve for all they do to support sailors throughout the year.

And so the Frensham Open winners were confirmed: in Main Fleet, George and Hugh first, Tom and Joe second, and Sophia and Evie third. And in regatta fleet, Ava and Isabelle first, Mimi and Rose second and Mia and Isobel third.
