What a weekend for the 51st Vintage Yacht Regatta!
After strong winds forced us to reschedule, we couldn’t have asked for better conditions when the fleet finally hit the water.
This much-loved Regatta is a highlight on the QCYC calendar, and for some of our fleet, it’s the one event each year that gets these beautiful old boats back out racing.
Congratulations to those who took out the main honours, but really, it was winners and grinners all round!
A big thank you to our volunteers, Brian Hutchinson for judging and presenting the boat presentation awards, and our major sponsor Husk Rum for their continued support.
