The first Eastern Area Phantom Open event of the year took place at Ardleigh Sailing Club over the weekend of 11th and 12th March and attracted a dozen boats from across the region.
Our hosts at Ardleigh gave us a very warm welcome - which was surprising as Saturday morning was absolutely freezing. Luckily the sun made an appearance from time to time and there was only a gentle breeze.
Racing would not start until Sunday but 12 Phantoms lined up on the bank for the start of a training day organised by Matt House, one of our hosts from Ardleigh and Chris Roberts long time class supporter and Creeksea Sailing club tweaking expert. Also in attendance was Richard Nurse from class supporters Pinnell & Bax.
The next event in the Eastern series calendar is at Stone Sailing Club on Saturday 29th April.
