13-14 September 2008
Organised by Holy Loch Sailing Club the GTI Polaris Regatta held over the 13th and 14th September was a breathless affair. 21 Fifteens including 1 Open, 6 Silvers and 14 Classics took part in 4 infuriatingly calm races.
All the top boats managed one duff score whilst some of the newer teams managed on or two encouragingly good scores. Tight starts and rafts at marks were common as was that 'I think we're going backwards' feeling.
A lively ceilidh on the Saturday night and some spendid race management made up for any shortfall in the weather.
Overall Results:
1st Gilmac, J.McMillan
2nd Feel Flows, A.McKee
3rd Genisis, D.Challis
