On Good Friday the Cadet Regatta started off the sailing season at Bosham Sailing Club. With forty youngsters in 29 boats, there was much excitement on the slip way with many returning for the annual event and other new members joining for the first time.
With a gentle Force 2-3 northerly wind the six classes of dinghies sailed the channel chasing the breeze, which went very light at times. In the laser radials it became a family affair with the two Russell brothers battling for first place in their class.
Class Winners:
420: Charlie Knottenbelt & Ben Heber
Laser Radial: Matthew Russell
Feva: Phoebe & Patrick Mayhew
Topper: Eddie Tyler
