Congratulations to Stephen Beckett (Solva Rowing & Watersports Club) on wining the first Nationwide Event of 2007.
One hundred and eighty eight competitors started racing in very challenging F5-F6 conditions on the Saturday.
Full results are here, with a gallery of photographs from the event here.
As you can see from these photographs there was a fair amount of chop on both days, with a number of entrants deciding that discretion was definitely the better part of valour on the Sunday. The forecast of 20-21 knots on Saturday, dropping off to 15-18 on Sunday was not what was experienced by the sailors on the water.
However, a big thank you should be given to the race officers and the safety boat crews for the excellent management and cover that was provided, especially for "Race Box", who single-handedly coordinated the race and safety crews during the event. Whoever you are, you did a marvelous job.
