ICE SAILING IN EAST WIGHT

Sunday's sailing proved more successful.
Sunday's sailing proved more successful.
When Bembridge Harbour froze at the weekend, a fleet of 10 Illusion sailors found themselves dealing with conditions usually faced by the Vendee Globe adventurers in the Southern Ocean. 

But when two competitors were carried off by a moving ice field, Saturday’s race had to be abandoned.  Things got back to normal on Sunday for the Bembridge Sailing Club event.

Final Results:
1st Piers Thomas
2nd Rudy Jurg
3rd Barnaby Edwards
4th Sue Thomas
5th Philip Bown
6th Joe Robertson
