The Humber Yawl Club Regatta took place May 2nd to May 5th. The weather was warm and sunny with winds varying from 1 to 3, ESE to NE over the weekend.

Racing started on the Friday evening with the obligatory “Round the Island” fun race. Rules are simple - through the club start line, take the island to starboard, back through the club finish line (collecting a can of beer from the committee boat on the way through), finish when the beer is drunk at the Bar! Magic Flute just won by a head - a nice big frothy one!

Serious racing followed with races on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Magic Flute taking the honours on each day.

Overall Results:

1st. Magic Flute, 805
2nd. Orang-utan, 676
3rd. Privateer, 741
4th. Rebel, 234
5th. Squadron, 633
