Wroxham Open Meeting 16th -17th September

It can't be said that the weekend weather was set fair for this event.  We all arrived on Friday intending  to be rigged and ready from launching and sailing on Saturday, but the torrential down pours put pay to that , with some of us (I wonder who...) taking  refuge in the local hostelry.

The growth of the  Ireland Fleet

This weekend of 29th/30th July saw a small band of enthusiastic 2.4mR sailors gather at Carrickfergus for a training camp. There were 5 boats in total, carrying, Gina,Kerry, Shane, Paddy and Gary, who had come together from various locations around Ireland. The weekend weather forecast left us a little uncertain of what would be achieved, but  there was enough time between squalls to get some decent races and sailing practice in.
