Friday was a glorious day to bring the 74th Poole Week to a close, still warm and bright, and there was enough wind for all eleven fleets to sail up to two final races as scheduled.
A week when the Lancaster Bomber from the Bournemouth Air Festival did a couple of loops right over the harbour during Friday’s second race.
A week when a Salcombe Yawl was seen in Poole Harbour – possibly for the first time ever, and usually with a Byte in close attendance.
And a week when the wind didn’t make life easy, but that’s part of the challenge of racing.
Most importantly, Bournemouth Digital have confirmed their support as title sponsor for the 75th Poole Week, in 2023. So too have Hall and Woodhouse, so there will be beer too. Everyone’s looking forward to it already.
