Eight boats took part in the fourth event in the Joint Passage Race series held jointly with the Royal Forth. The 6 Corinthian boats racing for the Scott Shield and the 2 Royal Forth boats the Crawford Cup.
Congratulations to Misty Blue for coming out top once more:
Kashangi II, Malin and Mañana all retired.
The second event in the Joint Passage Race series organised in conjunction with the Royal Forth was the Wilson Cup held in gorgeous sunshine on 7 July. 10 boats ‘braved’ the unusual elements of soaring temperatures, sunshine and little wind for a pleasant, exciting, frustrating (delete as appropriate) 5 hour race where the latter half of the fleet finished within a minute of each other.
Overall results were as follows with the Forth Corinthian boats in bold denoting the finishing order of the Wilson Cup race within the race:
(Apparition and Kashangi II retired)
The first two Friday White Sail races were abandoned due to lack of wind so it was a bit of a relief to get the series off the ground on 22 June where the results of FWS 3 were as follows:
The same four boats contested the Friday White Sail 4 on 6 July with the following slightly different finish:
Congratulations to John and crew on Kashangi for a clean sweep so far as we look forward to the next instalment on Friday 20 July.
Thank goodness a little breeze filled in to allow a start for this years Inchkeith Trophy or it would have been the third event in a row to suffer a cancellation due to lack of wind. Three boats took part in a very pleasant couple of hours sail round the course with the finishing order – Brave, Eclipse and Misty Blue. This did not change after applying the handicaps so congratulations to Brave on winning their first Corinthian trophy.
