Gul Fireball National Championship at Penzance Sailing Club - Day 3

by Dave Hall 25 Jul 2018 17:22 BST 22-27 July 2018

No sailing on day 3; the fleet waited until late into the afternoon.

There was no possibility of racing and with a bad forecast for the reserve day there will be three races a day on Thursday and Friday.

It is lucky Penzance Sailing Club sits in a beautiful area, now everyone has been forced to embrace 'holiday mode'!

In the meantime all we can offer are photos from day two, showing what might have been...
