The Scottish and Northern Skiffs descended onto the ever-iconic Sunderland for the last Musto Skiff UK event before the Worlds in mid-July.
On Saturday day, the whole fleet were up early and bouncing at the prospect of what looked ideal conditions for a sea-breeze but (un)fortunately the wind wasn't playing ball, leading to a 2-hour delay and some tactical shuteye. By mid-afternoon, the PRO sent the fleet out into a light 4-6knot Southeaster for 2 races.
Sunday morning unfolded much the same as Saturday had, but with a little more wind forecast by the afternoon. This allowed further tactical napping and some boat prep before the south Easter kicked in for 3 races in 6-10 knots.
It was great to see a strongly attended and competitive field, all in anticipation of the upcoming Garda Worlds.
A massive thank you to Stewart Brewing who is this year's Scottish and Northern Skiff Circuit sponsor, as well as the ongoing class support from Musto and Ovington. Also, thanks to Sunderland Yacht Club and its team. They are always world class and SYC is definitely one of the favourite venues for the Skiff fleet. We will be back soon!
