5Sep99 There were 13 boats racing in the afternon race; the most we have had this decade; John Botterill (the previous Sailing Sec.) couldn't remember that number before so probably the most since well into the 80s, 70s or earlier. Also there were 3 boats cruising making a total of 16 boats out; about 25% of our fleet. It was a real pleasure having the Club so active, well done and keep it up.
