The weather was warm and sunny with a forecast of light breeze for the weekend. The bay looked fantastic in the sunshine and the steep hill down to the small Filey Sailing Club through woodlands festooned with cow parsley is incredibly picturesque. The club and the members welcomed everybody with big smiles and much needed muscle to get boats on, and later off, the incredible high tide beach, surround by cliffs.
Eight 2000s arrived for the second round of the Latitude Series sponsored by Lakes Mortgages, as part of the regatta weekend. The 86 boats were separated into 3 fleets and the 2000s were part of the 26-strong slow fleet, with ILCA 7, Miracles, Fevas and Solos.
Saturday saw a light breeze day and tides to contend with.
Sunday dawned bright with a tad more breeze which built as the day wore on.
The last race of the day in a now flooding tide and a bit more breeze, saw six 2000s at the front of the slow fleet vying for first during the race. This was the decider for the series. The final results were first Greg and Sam (sixth overall), second Oliver and Elliott (seventh overall) and third Mike and Alex (14th overall).
Prizes were presented by Alistair Rose representing our sponsors, Lakes Mortgages. A huge thank you to Filey Sailing Club and everyone who helped out at great event in a truly lovely part of the Yorkshire coast.
