Provisional Sailing Instructions are here.

2 pm - Regatta and Spring Series Prize Giving.
Regatta prizes will be awarded on the basis of 4 out of 5 races to count (1 discard will be allowed if racing is possible on both days). The club series prizes will be presented at the same time (expect to see some trophies more than just the Flying Fifteen fleet).
