GMBC 2024 SeaWind Club Championship - Round 9
Man of the match was Sameer, by a mile, winning five out of
nine races and showing us all how to handle strong, flukey winds!
Well done to Peter on a close-sailed podium as well... after a
two-month break for Sameer and Peter. Good sailing in tricky
conditions. Great dices and close finishes all through the fleet.
Well sailed all!
