Small Yacht racing Championships 2008

For the second year in succession, no rounds were abandoned, and none were interrupted by bad weather! At times we could have benefitted from a bit more wind, but at least we were able to complete the series.

To sum up, another good season, which could have been better if we had more entries. Once again the series was enhanced by the continued support from the Stoke Gabriel members, and apart from myself, the other two members who attended all five rounds were Steve Bowles and David Offiler, well done to both of you in these days of austerity.

Thank you all for your support over the last two years, as I now stand down from SWAMBC Yachting secretary; I hope you will all support whoever takes my place next year.
