Laser UK National Championships at Largs Sailing Club - Day 5

by Keith Videlo 2 Aug 2019 07:29 BST 27 July - 2 August 2019

The Race Officer made a valiant attempt to get a race in at sunny but windless Largs. Sadly this was unsuccessful as the wind dropped within minutes of all fleets being afloat.

All are hoping for an improvement in the forecast for the final day of the Championships on Friday.

This allowed plenty of time now to get the posh frocks & black ties on for the Gala Dinner, check out all the pictures!
