Nineteen Sunbeams took part in the annual Henry Chisholm weekend regatta at Itchenor Sailing Club on the 29th & 30th April. The event celebrates the impact of Sir Henry Chisholm in the 1950s and 60s when he re-invigorated the Sunbeam Class at Itchenor.
Consistency was the key to success given that all 4 races were sailed in very light shifty conditions with the wind speed generally in single figures.
The weather forecast for the second day's racing promised slightly more wind but this largely failed to appear with all racing again taking place in the Thorney Channel in under 10 knots of wind.
Joe & Cathy Burnie sailing Fleury took victory in the Regatta with three firsts and a second followed by Holly and Sky. In the evening, 40 Sunbeamers enjoyed the hospitality of Itchenor Sailing Club and raised their glasses to Sir Henry Chisholm which is especially pertinent this year as the Sunbeam Class celebrates its Centenary.
