Story

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;">Just wanted to let you know how grateful we are to you for your interest in what has been, thanks to people like you, a very successful St Wilfrid&rsquo;s Hospice Coastal Challenge. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;">A record forty boats, grouped into four classes, entered this year&rsquo;s event. Thirty nine boats set of at five minute intervals beginning at 13:30. With a drop in wind speed from 10.1 to a low of 5.2 it was a slow passage out to The Nab, allowing some the opportunity to try their hand at catching mackerel. For others it would result in them making a decision to retire. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;">The wind picked up again around 16:00 facilitating a much quicker home passage. First over the line was &lsquo;Unruly&rsquo; followed by a plethora of Sunbeams with &lsquo;Euphoria&rsquo; and &lsquo;Blink&rsquo; in amongst them. Full results can be found at http://www.innshorecruisingclub.co.uk/results.htm. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;">Some fantastic photos were taken on the day and they can be viewed and purchased (all profits will go to the Hospice) at <a href="http://www.instantmemories.co.uk/">http://www.instantmemories.co.uk/</a> and entering the code &lsquo;CYC11&rsquo; in the &lsquo;quick login&rsquo; box.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span></p>
