A course was set across the Solent but the wind and tide kept most of the boats close to the start line. This tube had to be filled with money to persuade them to take it away again. The race winner was Craig Nutter in Sabrina of Hamble. As the afternoon wore on boats left for home. An excellent event, despite the weather, with 53 of the 91 boats booked in braving the elements to attend.
Plans are already afoot for next year's event.
