Congratulations to winners of Top Lady Helm, Lizzie Edwards (R) and crew Ruth Verrier-Jones (L)...and thanks for the friendly little shunt at the Leward mark today...women drivers, I don't know!

Well done to you Ben and Liz and to everyone who participated. It sounded like such fun depite the bruises! Thanks Ben for all your input to the "blog". It has been great to have such a thorough insight into your week.
Cheerio.

Restronguet Ovaloid was given by the Restronguet Fleet to the Firefly Association when hosting the Championships in 1958?. Bought from an Art Gallery in Newquay (Cornwall).Bens Dad was the then Class Capt(so nothing new there then) The first winner was also a Lumby-Bens uncle Roger.
Will miss the daily Blogs.
Also congratulations to the Royal Torbay Club who provided a superb result service- with the positions often known before the fleet arrived on shore.
