The postponed Yorkshire Dales SC Brass Monkey Open saw 55 entries sign up, but with a not too favourable wet and windy forecast, many were put off.
In the end, the storm passed through quicker than forecasted, giving the competitors far better conditions than expected, albeit quite shifty and gusty.
The Brass Monkey also formed round 1 of the 2022 Great British Sailing Challenge, which gives a range of extracted rankings across a variety of categories from several events.
