Lifeboat Trophy - Saturday 29th September 2007
The race involved seamanship and sailing. The first round was a club start and a course across West Mud and back to the club finish line. For round 2 the boats were at anchor with main sails down and the sails and anchors were raised at the start. The boats sailed to a mark, dropped the sails, rowed to another mark, raised the sails and sailed back to the club. Round 3 involved picking up a stowaway, recovering a man overboard (not the stowaway) sailing round a mark, dropping off the stowaway and crossing the line. Three boats took part in light winds.
