RORC Easter Regatta

I’ve just finished coaching at the RORC Red Funnel Easter Regatta in Cowes - wet and windy this year. It was such a shame two days were blown off. It was a pleasure to see the big boats in action today - fast, furious and fun!

I’ve been to a lot of prizegivings in my life but this one is one of the best. The prizes are Easter Eggs,and the way it’s conducted by Janet Grosvenor is just fun.

The coaching came from an alliance of the RORC with the RYA and is getting better year on year. It's providing real added value to the regatta. Jim Saltonstall led the way with, as usual, an exemplary demonstration of peppering education with entertainment in the Regatta Centre in the West Cowes Marina. While walking down the High Street Jim came across a passer-by with a real live ferret, and a photo was duely taken. In recognition of Jim’s relationship with all his ‘ferrets’ I hope it gets put up on the RORC website www.rorc.org when the staff transfer from the Disrespect back up to St. James.
