BMYC Autumn Regatta '24

What an incredible weekend! We experienced the very best of competitive sailing, coupled with the unwavering spirit of our club. Across six races, we witnessed a dramatic shift in weather conditions between Saturday and Sunday. Saturday greeted us with nearly perfect conditionssunny skies and fair windssetting the stage for some excellent racing. By contrast, Sunday brought strong winds gusting up to 30 knots, requiring us to adjust, including shortening the course to ensure everyone's safety.

Despite the challenging conditions, the weekend was a true testament to the dedication, skill, and sportsmanship of all participants. The racing was fierce, and the trophies were hard-earned. Congratulations to the winning boats in each category:

- **IRC1**: Flawless J, Jouster, Mad Max

- **IRC2**: Brainwave, Jab-Jab, Vision

- **NHC1**: Flawless J, Jouster, Redeye

- **NHC2**: Fluttergrub, Redeye, Sunfast

A heartfelt thank you to all the visiting boats that made the journey to Brighton to support our Autumn Regatta.
