Ship in a Bottle Regatta 2022

Published 19:08 on 17 Jul 2022

Second day of the Ship in a Bottle Regatta started quietly with a steady easterly blowing up the river. Lots of different craft added to the spectacle on a warm summer's day.

With many local sailors off to distant climes like Abersoch (Solo Nationals) and northern France (classic yacht race), just a few select sailors joined the event at Coombe Cellars. Saturday's overnight leader, Mark Phillips saw his lead disappear as Tim Martin put in an excellent performance to take 3 bullets and the overall lead on the Sunday.

Thanks to the safety boat crew for keeping a vigilant eye and towing a struggling windsurfer to shore. This after a Wanderer crew had to come ashore up river after their rudder misbehaved. They were towed home safely before racing got underway.
