Tory Island
The race to Tory took place on 13 June from Fahan under glorious sunshine. Winds remained fairly constant until the fleet reached Swillymore when conditions were flukey and some Yachts getting caught up in fishing lines. Chilli Paddi with only 2 on board were a victim and one crew member had to deploy diving gear to free a line caught under the keel.The winds turned light towards the end with a number of boats retiring. Faustina drifted yards from the finishing line for 47 minutes before finally crossing it. Chilli paddi persevered to win Class 1 with the elated team on Magic Spell taking honours in Class 2.
Festivities on the Island were some what toned down as a sign of respect for the passing of an Islander. The Dutiful King obliged in the presentation ceremonies were a large crowd gathered in the local Hotel for the prize giving. A good weekend was had.
