There were trips…

GP Open 2019

TSC’s 2019 GP Open excellent fleet of 17 boats was met with a challenging Force 5-6.

Kings Head Cup

Always a good race, the light winds made for a challenging sail and gave the smaller boats an advantage, as the larger ones could not get anywhere near their potential hull speeds. The tide did most of the work for them with the tide turning just as the leading boats reached the top of Osea Island. The race was…
