West Lancashire Yacht Club held their first tidal regatta, sponsored by Tim Harper Boats and Sails, on the sea at Ainsdale on Sunday 29th June. Twenty-three boats took part in the event which included Enterprise Top Helm and Streaker Northern Paddle qualifiers and a handicap fleet which included everything from a 49er to Finns and a Graduate.
The fleets enjoyed 3 back to back races in glorious weather before returning to the beach for a prize giving. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the event a success, including Southport Inshore Lifeboat who provided launching for all the competitors. We hope to see you all again next year.
Prizes for the 3 fleets were generously donated by Tim Harper Boats and Sails.
