Idyllic Conditions for Hurricane SX TT at SYC

SYC hosted the first Hurricane Open event of the year on the 21st and 22nd of May. The Club welcomed twelve travelling crews from Essex, Yorkshire and Hampshire, joining eight from the home club.

Saturday dawned with no wind and glorious sunshine. Holding the boats ashore for an hour gave time for some needed boat-fettling and allowed the sea breeze to build. Keen to get some races in before the tide dropped, the 20 Hurricanes drifted out but were soon greeted by a solid force 3-4 blowing up the river.
