A very busy day on the water today with 5 races held in all 3 Classes as the Bacardi Keelboat Regatta got underway in the Great Sound.
Wind started out at a brisk 14 – 16 kts from the north and had shifted to North North West and dropped to 8-10kts by the end of the day as the J105, International One Design (IOD) and Etchells classes were all on the water.

At the end of Friday’s racing, provisional results show the following:
