Bolton Sailing Club

Well done to the Bolton ‘A’ Team for winning the 39th 24 Hour Race at West Lancs Yacht Club!

Thanks to Ian Platt for lending the team his boat, and also to Julie Waddington for the use of her rudder in the middle of the night! Also, a HUGE thanks to the competitors for doing such a crackin’ job of keeping us ahead of the chasing pack. It was touch and go all weekend with a close battle with West Lancs and the 420 Association teams.

It was also an eventful weekend for the ‘B’ Team, both on the water and off the water! Thanks to Gordon Parnell for lending the team his boat and to the competitors for their hard work all weekend.
