Boxing Day race at Royal Harwich

The National Twelve fleet gathered at Royal Harwich on Boxing Day for the final open meeting of the year. Despite the festivities and the windless weather forecast it was well worth the effort, as the wind filled in just in time. Richard Williams and Stella Brown led off the line, and extended their lead up the first beat from a chasing pack led by Antony and Jo Gifford. Jon and Jules Brown wriggled free of the Ledger & Ross and the rest of the pack to settle in to third place. Halfway up the second beat the wind briefly failed us, allowing the fleet to compress and the Giffords to get up to the transom of Williams and Brown. After a tense period of close tacking the Giffords managed to pick-up a crucial lift along the bank and were off into an unassailable lead. As ever the fleet were grateful to those who gave their time to host and manage a lovely race.
