Closing '5' - 18 March 2017 & AGM photos

This year was overcast as last year. 32 runners took part on the new 5 mile course, which once again seemed to go down quite well. This race, the last in the Bennett Cup series, is run as a yacht handicap, the slowest starts first and the quickest (according to the handicapper!) last.
