This is here, on Ballard Down looking north across Shell Bay with Bournemouth on the right and Poole on the left. Spinning round and looking south, is this view of Swanage Bay.
There aren’t many days like this in the year, gotta make the most of them.
SSC ran a regatta again this summer which I took part in. Thirty three boats, five races over two days, each course different with good wind, building up on day two to quite frisky conditions. On the last race the daggerboard was humming in new tones I’d never heard before, it was that fast (grin!). Mine is 239.
There were two other Vareos which made for a bit of sub-fleet racing which was great fun.
Thanks Doug and team for running a fantastic regatta. Thanks Adrian for the fantastic pictures.
