The Robinson family came all the way from Norwich to Crowborough to run the second ever Robinson's regatta
Unusually the wind appeared to be across the pond
A quick test sail before anyone else arrived to check where to set the course
Nicola organised the races
Thanks to Jeff, if you didn't have a suitable boat, you could borrow one

Richard's 18 inchers
Boats were classed by length
Some of the visiting 8 inch boats
Peter signals the start of a race
Favourite boat race was for all sizes
These look like 18 inch
The straight running challenge was for all sizes
18 tp 20 inch?
8 inch away!
There's a lot of bending down with this!
The taller the boat, the less bending!
Not unusual for a boat to be going the wrong way
8 inch is like herding cats
I have absolutely no idea who won!
Richard with plaque
Jean (two stickers) with John18 inch
Martin with medal
David with medal and the the largest boat on the day
Andy T
Peter B
Andrew E wins the 'all classes' final race

Gordon's High-tech craft was a winner
John won a cup
A result I do have.
Bill, straight running winner
Andy T, straight running runner up
Free sailing at lunch time
Good idea for yacht stands
Smallest boat there?
