Mid Wales threw all weathers at the hardy band of visitors to Clywedog for this years rally.
A full turnout of dinghies came to the line for the shakedown long distance race on Sat afternoon with an interesting jibe mark round No 3.
We all enjoyed a great meal provided by the galley crew on Sat night and a few beers.
Sunday dawned with the no let up in the wind and a few decided not to risk their precious craft.
Peter Vinton was dominant though he was getting chased by the fifteens , with experimental crews from those who had decided to not risk the conditions.
Another lovely meal Sunday night and Monday again a reduced fleet but two short races were hotly contested for the minor places.
Many thanks to all the helpers who make this a fantastic event.
Again lovely to see the club buzzing and the chance to meet old and new friends.
