Autumn Regatta 2017
Report and photos by Sue Hines
A perfect day with beautiful sunshine and a good breeze for the last East Anglian Cruising Club regatta of the season.
Everyone gathered on the Club moorings where Officers of the Day, Colin and Liz Chettleburgh briefed crews on the course which included a loop down to a buoy set south of Oby Dyke. There was a great turnout of boats with 17 starters over 5 starts with slow boats starting first in the morning race to Ranworth. Having completed the loop, the boats were well spread out until around St Benet’s when the fleet compressed, producing some close manoeuvring in the upwind leg to the finish, with four boats abreast at times on the very busy river.
The finish was just short of the trees before Ranworth Dyke and the boats motored down to raft up on the Broad.

Crews were ferried to The Maltsters for an enjoyable lunch outside in glorious sunshine.
Pippinjack, helmed by Paul Stevens with Steve Burton as crew instead of his normal crew of Jane Stevens, took this race, winning the Jubilee Cup by 4 seconds from second placed Sabrina 2 (John Holmes), with Melinda helmed by Paul Howes coming third, just 6 seconds further behind.
The wind held up for the afternoon race which started on the river at 2.45 with the faster boats setting off first and there were one or two sailing duels on the way back to Thurne.
The winner of this race was Mischief (Steve Seeney with a family crew), holding on to the Joe Delf Trophy which they won last year. Pippinjack was second and Solace (John Aves, crewed by Tim Riches) was third.
After the results were announced at the Club moorings, the new owners of Dove, Dave and Soozie Hopwood, cracked open the bubbly to celebrate their first race after taking over ownership the day before!

A big thankyou to Colin and Liz Chettleburgh for running the line ably assissted by Ian Stewart and Mike and Barbara Barnes.
