BLIND PAIRS STEERING EVENT - 13TH APRIL 2008
Another cold day but it was pleasing to see more members both old and new down at the lake enjoying themselves. 6 brave pairs entered the competition and everyone realised how important it was to have a good navigator and also have a good understanding of the difference between left and right! There was plenty of time for free sailing as usual with yachts, scale and fast electrics sharing the lake all day as well as the competition in full swing. This is some of the fun............
