YHYSA Saturday 31st May - A good turnout, but very light airs greeted the 30 competitors for the Saturday event. After an initial postponement the first race was run but after an initial reasonable start the slight breeze soon died off as the race was shortened. Further racing was abandoned and competitors amused themselves by swimming, paddling windsurf boards & throwing Sam Towers in the water before prizegiving. Event results here...
