Having helped clean and move back all the Balcony furniture this morning (thanks to all those that helped), it wouldn’t be fair to keep it a secret. The Balcony is now open and following a problem with the chiller I can guarantee that the beer is now cold. So why not come and watch the racing tonight or enjoy the sun all day tomorrow. We know people have missed it.
There are a few things that still have to be done but we made the fitters stay very late on Friday just so we could use it.

Congratulations to Nigel Campling for winning the 2014 Southerly Regatta
The 2014 Southerly Regatta took places at the home of sailing in the UK, the Royal Yacht Squadron. The race briefing on Sunday 25th May required all crew to wear blazers and tie (of course), and was followed by an excellent hog roast looking out to the Solent.
In Race 1 started on Monday with 3 knots of west bound tide and light winds on the start line. Southerly 42RST, Legato, were first to the mark and lead for the rest of the race, taking the canon and the win by a few seconds to Southerly 115, Dutch Courage with a gaggle of 38’s coming in behind.
Tuesday dawned to a little more breeze and again more drizzle which quickly cleared. The 2nd race started with a good 10-15 knot beat up towards hill head and anti-clockwise around the Solent. With the race officer being told that the fleet only draw 1m with the keels up he gave the option to prove this and to sail across a very visible Leap Spit, which some competitors did to great gains.
Race 4 was a longer affair with many buoys around the Solent. With 2 knots of tide pushing boats over the line, the start was lively, but clean. The North Sails Rib was out shouting words of advice to all boats and the fleet split into two packs. The Southerly 46RS, Gneiss Fantasy, took the final cannon of the event and Southerly 38, Distraction taking the win on corrected times, with Southerly 38, Bettina 2nd and Southerly 42RST, Legato 3rd.
Prizegiving that evening was held at the RYS “Castle” with a champagne reception and an excellent three course dinner. Winner of the Southerly Cup for the second time (2012 & 2014) : Nigel Campling, Southerly 115, Dutch Courage of Cowes.
