On a sunny and boisterous evening 39 boats took part in some exciting racing in the 14th race of the Evening Race Series. Numbers were fewer than usual due to the Cowes Classics regattas taking place during the day.
With a fresh south westerly wind all classes headed to the east on a two-round course.
First home was Sonar "Spare Part" beating Jenny by 30 seconds. The same margin separated the first two Flying Fifteens Ffuraha and Fflashback.
In Class 4 Hubble Bubble beat Calypso to the line but lost out on handicap by 16 seconds. The last boat home arrived at 2032hrs well ahead of sunset.
