CQBC's first Regatta has been run and by all reports we should start booking in for the next one already.
We were blessed with clear weather and moderate winds. The company was great and the racing was very competitive and the main thing friendly.
With this race under our belt we will endeavour to run more events. The interest shown by participants will promote this regatta to a level that will make it a "must do" event. Competitor entries were in the early 50s, with over 90 at the Saturday night dinner.
Racers ended up with eleven heats each over the two days of sailing with several novices joining the more experience racers on the podium.
Thanks to all those who helped out and those who raced for making this a wonderful event.
Results and photos will be posted soon.
Thanks to all,
Darren.

Thanks to all the guys and girls that organised a top event that I am sure will grow every year
Here is some photos of good racing and great fun
See you next year
