Light winds and close tactical sailing for the Mirrors at Cam © Tom Lachlan-Cope

On Saturday 13th October the Mirror fleet came to the Cam Sailing Club for their annual mirror open on the River. This year we had visitors from Whitstable and Seahorse Sailing Clubs for an event that had light winds and close tactical sailing.

There was a different winner for each of the three races and the outcome was in doubt until the end. In the end Lucia Lachlan-Cope managed to hold off John Peterson, Marge Winter and Hannah Rose to win the cup for the second year running.
