DINGHY racers have a meeting on Wednesday, October 7th at 7pm to take stock of the 2026 season and make suggestions for 2027.

The first frostbite race was scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd.

It was a beautiful, sunny autumn afternoon with four crews raring to go, but alas the breeze disappeared.

The decision was made to postpone until Sunday, when two races were sailed in damp, drizzly conditions.

The sun soon appeared along with a pleasant force 2 breeze.

The results for the first race were as follows: 1, R252, Julian Cumpsty and Robin Wood; 2, R178, Steve Popple and Michelle James; 3, R228, Bill Dowell and Peter Prosser; 4, R241, John McKellar and Dewi Jackson.

Race 2 results: 1, R228; 2, R252; 3, R178; 4, R241.
