Feva Grand Prix 1 - Itchenor 16th & 17th September
Four Bosham boats braved a weekend of two halves in Itchenor. Saturday proved tricky with fickle winds coupled with strong tides.

BSC Cruiser Racing Weekend
This year's BSC Cruiser Racing Weekend was very much an event of two halves. Saturday's race to No Man's Land Fort was held in a gentle Easterly/South Easterly breeze that carried the 14 strong fleet down with the tide to a rather challenging rounding of the fort. The fleet then bunched up and for several boats the race all but started again. The boats who were able to make progress upwind against the spring ebb
