With the ease in lockdown restrictions coming in to play, Waldringfield SC were able to run their annual Easter Egg event over Good Friday and Easter Saturday. A cracking turnout of seventeen RS200s took part, all WSC boats, as the Club had sensibly decided that running an Open event was not an option.
Good Friday arrived cold, grey and blustery with 16-18 knots of breeze, and the prospect of 2 x back-to-back races over a rising tide. Race Officer Geoff Sinton set a M shaped course, using all of the available space upriver from the Clubhouse. the course also benefited from a lack of moored yachts parked on the race track! Race 1 got away cleanly and it soon became apparent that the Videlo brothers - Stephen & Chris (1447) - were on excellent form, pulling out an impressive lead to take the win from Uni Students Archie Penn & Alex Bell-Jones (1179) and Ed Harris & Archie Goodhead (1340).
