We are trying a slightly different format this year, so with the exception of our newspaper coverage below, I will be sorting the photos for each day of the Regatta, let me know if you think that works, or if it doesn’t.
First newspaper coverage of the event, and who is front and centre?

Sunday
Sunday saw a much reduced fleet for the afternoon race. This had a few causes, primarily the need for many of us to head home but also the fact that the tide was still strong and the temperature peaked at 39 degrees, which really doesn’t make for pleasant sailing; the wind looks good though.
Fleet shot, the three Sailfish are in amongst to group on the right of the photo, 2018 ICWDR. [By Janita Milton, Inverloch, 28 January 2018]Ian Milton, this time on 2188 Gooney Bird, 2018 ICWDR.
