This event drew 22 boats from as far afield as Bassenthwaite and Kent. The weather was not kind, on Saturday the wind was very light, it was cold and rained continuously all day, on Sunday the sun came out but the wind was even lighter.

The OOD was heard to remark that he had never seen WindGuru predicting zero knots before. Let's just say Wind Guru was not wrong. Despite this the committee managed to get 4 races sailed, the last two on Sunday were abandoned for lack of wind.

First place was taken by Andy Smith and Phil Hodgkins from Bassenthwaite S.C. Second was Ian Willis and Keith Dutton from South Staffs S.C. Third was Nick Devereux and Geoff Edwards from Budworth S.C.
