The Lennon Racewear Coniston Sailing Club Dinghy Regatta took place on 26^th – 28^th May. Lennon Racewear provided a great sponsorship package including kit and vouchers awarded to the prize winners!Preparations for the Regatta were done in the rain on Friday 25^th May but all forecasts promised lots of sunshine and warm weather for the following 3 days.A late entry on the Sunday took the total number to 31, however, the number of boats did not mean low quality racing!The boats were split into 3 fleets – Fleet A consisted of 12 boats; Fleet B, 15 boats and; a Junior Fleet with 4 boats.

Overall numbers may have been down on last year, but all agreed it was one of the best regattas in the 40 years Coniston have been running these – with good weather, great sailing and the overall atmosphere.Congratulations to all the competitors!
