On Saturday morning Cardiff Bay Yacht Club greeted the 36 Feva Teams with a mild, overcast millpond. After a short postponement the wind began to build and the boats launched with the option of five races.
Between races, while the race committee tweaked the course, the keen eye of coach Flynn Davies was on hand to offer feedback to many of the sailors helping to improve the standard across the fleet.
After a great day of sailing, World Cup rugby was the order of the evening for many in the welcoming Club bar. Thank you to those who stayed around for the quiz, we managed to squeeze it in before the rugby started! A lovely ladies team Sophia, Beth and Joanna won the chocolates.
Despite a little pessimism, Sunday came good and again, after a short delay, the breeze filled in with even a little sunshine appearing. The overnight leaders Ed & Noah were under pressure from Ben & Millie Greenhalgh on equal points with 3 races to go.
Under the watchful eye of Nick Craig on the committee boat, consistency paid off with Ben and Millie taking the title thanks to a 1st and 4th in the last races.
Another hard fought GP event complete and many smiles and achievements throughout the fleet see the Feva series well under way and looking forward to the Winter Championships in Weymouth on the 18th / 19th Nov.
A huge thanks to our series sponsors Rooster for our wonderful prizes throughout the year. Thank you Cardiff Bay Yacht Club for welcoming the Feva fleet and hosting a great event. To Matt Sawyer the Race Officer and the race team for smooth running of races with changeable conditions and completion of eight races. Finally to all the volunteers and parents that make these events possible.
