Paignton Regatta

On Saturday the club travelled to Paignton for their annual regatta returning back to home waters on Sunday for the Appledore regatta.
Conditions were surprisingly good for Paignton with the sun shining all day, the club came away with six first places and even had time to celebrate the club’s President, Barrie White’s, 70th birthday.
