5-Clubs News: The 8th Trofeo 5-Clubs event held by Club Náutico de Altea was cancelled. Some 50 boats arrived at the start line, but after 2 hours, there was still not enough wind to start the race. The previous day the Regatta “L’Almadrave de la Matina” did go ahead, but in very challenging light airs. Some CBYA members took part in the two events including Barry McCrae, Karen Gardner, Richard Jones, John Mackney, Chris Engels, Saskia Dormaar, Connie Forster, Simon Forster, Ben Woodcock and Steve Day. The L’Almadrave de la Matina race was won by a team from Club Náutico de Altea in a Platu 25.

Great! I like the concept of “In the Spotlight this week”. Fun to hear about interesting non-sailing activities some of our club members are involved in.
