Wow!
What a glorious weekend of Burnham Week sailing in some pretty lively conditions only to finish with simply the most glorious day on Monday when BOC hosted the annual 'Quay Day' attracting what seems to be thousands of visitors into the town.
The Wetworks 707 crewed by a bunch of very able young guys did themselves very proud (considering they have not sailed one of these boats for many years) coming second on day one and two, in a fleet of seven, and after having led the whole fleet on day three for most of the day they slipped out of contention in zero air to come fifth.
The river was awash with boats - yachts, dinghies, motor boats, gigs, kayaks and several paddle boards. Over the weekend we received so much interest particularly in the SUP area and are happy to have supplied quite a few that were taken directly out onto the water - marvellous.
The JOBE boards looked and performed brilliantly on the water and our resident expert and demo/trainer chap (Nobby) was really busy showing off his skills and giving help to many on the water.
We had moved the store down to ground level, outside, which worked really well allowing so many to see what we provide - and as a bonus we truly enjoyed the day with so many old and new friends.
A superb and very special weekend had by all - it is still sunny and the water is still very calm - come and see us soon and let's get you out on the water!
