'Passing Cloud' no. 1079 triumphed again. The 3rd and 4th generations of the Harris family Richard and Harry won at Cookham sailing the Jack Holt boat built for my father Harry Harris 51 years ago. The 2nd boat sailed by Martin Hunter and the 3rd by Mike Stephens were also built by Jack Holt.

Sorry to be picky Jez
but you result for sunday is wrong
Joe Tosh did crew for Mike Stephens on the Saturday
Jack Tosh crewed for Dad Tosh 3650 on Sat
Sunday 2nd place (Martin Hunter Ship) was not crewed by Joe Tosh but by Jack Tosh age 8.
Joe Tosh was the unfortunate crew who crewed for Daddy Tosh 3650 who managed to sink the boat who I think finished up 7th
Still 3 Tosh's in top 10

I actually did not mention the crews on Sunday as I was not sure who Crewed for Mike stephens and could not remember which young Tosh was in which boat!! Either way you should both be very proud of them, they did a slendid job with either winning or swimming!!

All in all it sounds like a load of old Tosh, oh and young Tosh.

It was great event and thanks to all the organisers and for Pat's help and comments.
Sad about the lack of wind for most of the boats. Obviously nearer the back of the fleet thre was more wind with all the flapping going on ahead.
More rock and rolling than at an Elvis concert!

As in previous years, the race entry fees for the Guy Pearce Memorial Trophy are donated to the RNLI - with 18 entries that makes £90. Many thanks to all competitors!
The new Peter Flanagan Trophy, presented for the first time to the highest placed Cookham boat on the Sunday, went to Jeremy and Jo Deacon (3645).
