A testing set of winds were offered to the formidable teams over the weekend. Overnight leaders were Cheat Seekers and they continued to hold their position, though only just, in the heavier winds that increased throughout Sunday’s racing. In the final reckoning Windermere’s Cheat Seekers beat Bassenthwaite’s Where’s Scott Gone by just one point! Well done one and all.
The Grotty Potty was awarded by last year’s winner, Terry Crumpton, to John Somerville for a triple backward somersault though other contenders included Commodore William Carruthers for a display of his inability to readily manoeuvre away from the jetty (in front of a crowd of onlooking helms) and Steve Goacher for almost capsizing.
