This event goes from strength to strength and after 6 years with a small dedicated team of volunteers for sharing duties of OOD, safety boat crew, race briefing, soup making, calculating results and shore crew. Many of the sailors have also been regulars for the 6 years changing roles and boats as required – in 2009 there were 34 different crew combinations and 15 different classes of boat. The average lap system of racing round a small triangular course has proved fair for all, The safety boat cover of 2 RIBs, Viking and August Fox has worked well. The series is an open event with sailors from Tresaith Mariners, Aberystwyth, the Aber University Sailing Club and Cardigan Bay Watersports regularly sailing with NYQC members.
