Just finished our New Years Day race - came second in class and got a bottle of plonk. Its a persuit race rather than a serious one, and there are dinghies involved as well as cruisers, all inside the barrage. The overall winner was a young girl in a Laser - wind was 8kn and the water was flat so the lumbering cruisers like mine didnt stand a chance.

Nevertheless, a bit of fresh air and not too cold even if its winter in this hemisphere
