Easter Egg Series Sailing Report - April 2025

Published 11:12 on 21 Apr 2025
This was our Easter Egg Series with 2 races Saturday for Day Keelboats that were unfortunately cancelled due to high wind. Then on Sunday there were 2 races using the Gilkicker Line.
This weekend we were joined by Chichester Cruiser Racing Club (CCRC) who joined in with our Sunday racing. Originally 4 yachts but one pulled out with mechanical issues and second with a furling drum failure leading to a broken mast.
On Saturday PSC yachts were invited to Join CCRC at the Creek in Haslar for a meal and banter, just fab.
Sunday We had 4 boat on the Line, 2 Tempest and 2 CCRC yachts. Billy Wyatt as RO with Frank Worley and Ralph Budden assisting on Valiant.
