Five visitors and four home boats went to the start line for the first start. On a restricted water like ours the start is very important, and from a clean start the fleet headed south on a dead beat.

Despite suffering a man overboard and having to retire from the last race of day one, Eazi Tiger were already looking like strong contenders for the title with two bullets.

The Stokes Bay Europe Open was a national ranking event, with 16 Europes attending. Hosted by Stokes Bay SC, the Europes had their own start as part of the ‘S-BOSH’ (Stokes Bay Open for Single Handers).

Epic racing conditions welcomed the North Sails sponsored IRC National Championship fleet to the Dartmouth Sailing Week. Fruity breeze starting in the high teens catapulted to 30 plus knots for much of the regatta.
