Squib class at the Waldringfield Sailing Club Cartoon Trophy 2024

by Ricky East 10 Sep 2024 06:25 PDT 7-8 September 2024

The Waldringfield SC Cartoon open meeting is the end of summer highlight here as we race for a 'Giles' Cartoon.

Saturday was summery, no wind in the morning and thus only two races after lunch. Lovely sailing.

Autumn arrived with a bang on Sunday. Gusts of 28mph. Exciting and really enjoyable racing. However by the last race there were only 3 Squibs on the starting line.

Our visitors, Andy and Pete 889 won, closely pushed by Patrick and Mike in 797. The battle of the locals was won by Barry and Susanne in 468, Ricky and Gill 745 next, followed by Will & Trish, Pete & Jen, David & Steve, John & Mo.
