Originally posted by The Q The 3 Rivers Race, normal entry around 100 boats one of the wider sections of the course at Stokesby. https://youtu.be/t32oU8EMHZY%20 Another part of the course at potter Heigham to start then bits of the rest of the course. https://youtu.be/d1kUBHj4XF8%20 Horning regatta week, the river at max, which is the start line at the clubhouse is 180 ft wide. At its narrowest in the section regularly sailed is 100ft. We have some years we've had 148 boats sailing up and down, plus all those tourists in motorboats getting in the way. https://youtu.be/GGCZ_AeyB3M

Yes the Ant is only 50 ft across in some places up to the turning buoy,

Some of the punts have gone square top, not sure if they've found an advantage yet. We'll see if more go that way.

3 Rivers Race 2023, provisional date, 2-3 June , high tide Horning is about 13:15, so the first starts from 11:00 will be against the tide. I'll put a notice up once entries are open around new year.

Silver spoons, that means you've come in the top three on a Thursday. The original village regatta day. I've a few from 43 years of trying.

Of which, there can't be many clubs with film of the 1908 regatta.

With us now having a sailing school, the first race 09:25 alcomers B dinghies over 12ft, is still as it was, but 09:30 alcomers C dinghies 12ft or less, is often split into three starts for regatta week, Bronze, beginners, silver intermediate, gold ok they know what they are doing.
Maybe 60 of the rugrats out in the morning, I'll be doing rescue in the mornings, and race in the afternoons this year..
