OPEN REGATTA -  SUNDAY 15th JULY 2007

MENGEHAM Rythe Sailing Club ran another successful open regatta in Chichester Harbour on Sunday 15th July 2007 and despite a weather forecast of thundery showers the event was well supported by a number of clubs in the harbour with 84 entries. The largest fleet single class entry was the Solos with 14 starters followed by a fleet of 10 Finns. With a steady breeze the Race Officer, Rachelle Allsop, who also presented the prizes, set a long course in the harbour for the 9 separate fleets and only needed to shorten the course for the slow handicap event. A club finish line provided some exciting viewing for the spectators now sheltering in the club when the predicted thunderstorm and showers arrived, fortunately towards the end of the races.
