Eleven boats sailed the Ajax class East Coast Championship on 23rd to 25th June organised by the Royal Harwich Yacht Club. The fleet included current National Champions Orwell V (Richard Merriweather, Mark Ingram, and Josh Richardson), and several other past winners including Avocet (Doug Sharps, Richard Chennery, Ian Sharps/Nigel Waller) returning to the fleet after a 12 year gap.
Conditions over the three days were excellent with lots of sunshine and generally good winds from the south or southeast with little total influence in the shallow waters of Dovercourt Bay.
Sunday gave us the lightest conditions of the event with under 10 knots of wind from the south east.
At the prize going on the Club lawn Class Captain Richard Merriweather thanked Tom Dixon and his team of volunteers on the Committee boat and mark layers for making the event possible.
