Also -a big thank you to our prize sponsors, Sheila Fleet Jewellery, Orkney Gin Company, Leo Kerr mirrors and Scottish Sea Farms Ltd and of course Burray Boatyard for use of the facilities.
This regatta was run alongside the Burray Funday with entry fees passed on to the RNLI.

Folks, it's too windy today. We will race tomorrow. 09.00 Briefing Sunday.

Sid has the flags up, first safety boats and dinghies arrived and the wind is in the west. See you tomorrow. 😃

Burray Regatta and RNLI fun day coming up. For sailing competitors please either bring your own grub or there will be tasty stuff to buy- and that helps fund the RNLI.
There will be racing for Cats, Snipes, Yoles and ILCas (and other adult classes) in the Handicap dinghy fleet. We've added a fourth race for each class so plenty racing to ve done.

One week to go.
