With a forecast indicating a good chance of getting back on the water following Sunday’s abandonment of all racing, there was an air of excitement in Cowes this morning.
Even the miserable early morning drizzle failed to dampen the spirits of competitors, and it was a relief it all went to plan on the racecourse particularly as it was in the presence of HRH the Princess Royal who was on the water watching the racing on Royal Navy Day and Charity Day.
Back on shore competitors and visitors were treated to a parade of the Band of HM Royal Marines who marched through the town to the Royal Yacht Squadron.
The west-south-westerly airflow, although significantly less than yesterday’s blow-out was still hitting 20+ kts, which made for another exciting day.
The overall winner of the Weekend Warrior Trophy presented by the Cruising Association was won by the team from C’est Si Bon (Beneteau Oceanis 37) in Club Cruiser C.
A special presentation took place at the Royal Yacht Squadron. The team expressing their delight in winning this inaugural trophy for the three-day mini series.
