Congratulations to Derek Round for setting the fastest time around the course, I managed to come a close second but either need more practice or supercharged batteries!
The ‘fox hunt’ game at the end was a lot harder than it looked! Well done to John Barraclough for sailing the ‘fox’ so elusively and stopping the rest of us from popping the balloons attached to his boat.
A fun evening and thankyou to all the boating section.
