A POOR forecast for Thursday 4th July prompted a 24-hour delay for Tenby Sailing Club’s Redwing race.

Friday was much better with results as follows: 1, R178 Julian and Robin; 2, R241 Dan and Matt; 3, R190 Alex and Dave; 4, Bill and Peter.

There were 21 entries for the three-race event on Regatta Day on Saturday with exhilarating racing in a brisk NW wind.
