RNSA(P) Woodcock Trophy

With light variable winds 10 Bosun Dinghies, making up 5 teams took to the water to compete for the Woodcock Trophy held at the Royal Navy Sailing Centre. The nineteen sailors were met with a downwind start just off the Sailing Centre, which opened up into a drag race across the harbour. Following a large wind shift, they finished the leg beating up to No3 buoy before heading north towards the entrance to Porchester Creek.
