We had our first junior team competing since the club reformed 3 years ago. Tilly Juniors did really well in difficult sea conditions to win the under 18 girls race. Well done to all the girls and to Chris New (junior coach) who has worked hard with the juniors over the last few weeks to get the team ready to race.

There was a good battle in the mixed race between the two Aberporth teams. Despite both teams being unfortunate at the start of the race they worked their way through the field but couldn’t shake off each other. They battled right to the end finishing in 7th & 8th with Dolwen finishing just 4 seconds ahead of Tilly Whim.

Well done everyone today.  Race pics

We had a good club performance today  with the two mixed teams finishing middle of the pack. The Mens team battling back from a very bad start due to confusion at the start line to finish 3rd and the performance of the day, the ladies finished 2nd pushing Llangwm all the way to the line, fantastic effort!
