The tragic overnight death of one of the Danish skippers towards the end of the week cast a shadow over the regatta; the other Danish boat was withdrawn, so that points for and against the two boats were can- ’ celled. Three German, one French, two Scottish, and one Irish boat sailed; of the remainder, six were from Northern clubs and ten from the South. A wide variety of designs were present, from the latest Lewis Vital Spark (Classic Il) back to the twentyfive-year-old Wright and Edwards’ boats Fleetwood Lady and Idaho. Winds were on the whole lightish, but ranged from very light to fresh throughout the week. From the start Munin and Classic I] were among the leaders, accompanied by Philippa. Exodus was well up until the stronger winds of Thursday, when she dropped from 2nd to 9th.
