Saturday 2nd August

Bass Week got underway with sunshine, and a shifty westerly breeze. Despite many regulars attending alternative championships this year, there was still an excellent turnout of 125 boats.

A few eager sailors were caught out by the one minute ’round the ends’ rule, but they all returned, and learnt by their mistakes! There were a few capsizes in the gusts as the wind freshened with the influence of a sea breeze.

The Heavenly Fish and Chips, together with Shake, Waffle and Roll, were providing onsite catering before the Commodore’s reception followed by live music from Tru Tones.
