After more challenging and exciting conditions today, tomorrow morning sees the conclusion of the Icicle Series and Winter sailing at TBYC. This year for the first time sailors have been racing in a General Handicap fleet for an overall series trophy, with four individual classes running in Tandem.
The Winter and Icicle Series have been well supported this year, with 63 boats racing before Christmas and 52 in this year’s Icicle Series. The one course and mass start have been popular with sailors and have made for an exciting series between all classes in a wide range of testing conditions.
The Winter and Icicle Series Prize giving will be held in the main bar at around 14.30 tomorrow, Sunday. So come down, enjoy the carvery and support all TBYC and visiting sailors who have raced this winter.
