Potts Performs In 33 mph Winds

It was a case of “hang onto your hats” on Sunday 10 May 2026 when the members of Gunfleet Sailing Club took part in the 3-in-1 race for the Wallet Trophy.  An extremely strong North/North-Easterly wind blew down the coast as the helms rigged up on the beach and bravely launched onto a murky North Sea.

Busy Bank Holiday At Gunfleet

Monday, May 4, 2026 - 15:20

Gunfleet Sailing Club had a busy two days of racing over the May Bank Holiday, 3 & 4 May 2026, with the Coronation Trophy event kicking things off.  In a force 3 south/south-westerly breeze the helms hovered around the line, carefully holding the craft back as the flood tide edged them forward.  With almost perfect timing, as the class flag dropped from the yardarm, the tight bunch was unleashed.
