Of course, these events don’t take place without a lot of volunteer effort – over 50 in total! Tasks included slipway clean, RIB prep, mark kit prep and tidy away, flags and banners up, safety boats, committee boat, race management, mark laying, Beach, Bridge, Bar and catering, etc. Many thanks to all of our magnificent volunteers!
We now look forward to the Richard Mille Fife Regatta, Saturday 11th to Friday 17th June, then the Optimist Nationals, Saturday 30th July to Friday 5th August.
