Have fun, people. Our regatta is off - up to 60 knot winds and 8 metre seas on the beaches, plus over 200 mm of rain.

Wish I was there  <:(

The photos show what our beach usually looks like, and what it's like now.

Saturday - 1.

Unbelievably nice day..... don't what happened there but it started off sunny and warm and just got
better and better throughout the day! No idea how many people attended but the event attracts
many visitor from the Wicksteed park itself so I would guestimate, over 500 visitors!
(Note to traders: Many visitors wanted to buy simple ready to run boats for their kids!)

Hello
The camera is a "fly cam" unit. I got it in a resent trip to OZ.  Here is the Oz link so you can find it . You can get them over here, my local model shop can get them if you need one.

well, what can i say, sun sun and more sun.  Friday was gusty, sailing Nordie with Stavros around, the wind started to blow Nord Icelandia around, and with a vessel so low to the water, drastic action had to be taken, result: one rescued boat, one very wet Ghostie, and Stavros curled over double laughing his self to bits like a demented psychopath

Fantastic weekend all round - never seen so many boats of different types.

A huge thank you to Martin who masterminded it and also to his helpers, particularly his family (great curry), Bradders and a special mention for Steamboat Phil and Stavros, neither of whom appeared to take their waders off for the entire weekend  :o. Phil even ran the barbeque in his on Saturday night!

And not forgetting the stalwarts of the Wickesteed Park host club without which none of it would have been possible.

oh i forgot to add, after laughing like a psychopath after I went in after nordie before she sank, Stavros then cursed himself cos he didnt have a camera.  saturday went well, especially with the Omra race boats doing a demo, and Bill's unicorn d203 kamikazeing a bouy, then landing on the water on its roof, for that 10 out of 10 for artistic flare.
