Placencia Sailing Club held their annual regatta over this past weekend which was well supported with sailors, volunteers, support boats and sponsors.
On Saturday the wind came in from the Southeast finally fixing just South of East and building to about 10 knots. This gave the fleet lively seas whilst allowing the Optimist and Laser fleets to complete their scheduled 4 races.
On Sunday wind started from the Northeast and moved around to the East. After making some final adjustments to the course each fleet completed their remaining 2 races of the regatta.

Congratulations to all Sailors!!!!
