Sorry to say only took a few pics before I decided to go to watch the afternoon movie on the seafront and I'm a boat freak. Must have been about 30 people on the end of the pier showing intrest including the officals. This sport is seriouly in the doldrums !!!!

Quite agree - but what can be done?
Do you remember the Cancer Research race of old?
Big entry list - actually a chance for sports boats and cruisers to race and people wanted to do it.
There used to be literally hundreds of spectator boats - as per all the Poole races.
Not just a case of saying 'those were the days' - but comparitively we had a big sport back then!
