May 3rd - the racing went ahead after a couple of weeks of disappointment. We had 4 multihulls and 9 slow handicap dinghies racing. The wind blew and the rain poured, but 12 boats succeeded in finishing the race. The race was the last and only race in the series. Congratulations to Tim O'Leary who won the Early Spring Series for the Slow Handicap and Andy & Mark Robinson who won the series for the Multihulls.

We are grateful to Atlantic Rigging, who is our latest sponsor for the Wednesday night series. Mike has kindly offered a massive 50% off dinghy Dyneema to FFSC Wednesday night competitors. There is limited stock so call Mike to order yours on 01394 610324 (www.atlanticrigging.co.uk)

Suffolk Sails have sponsored us once again, with two large kit bags containing various goodies.
Our thanks go to both of them for their continued support.
