The eagerly anticipated annual Fox’s Two Rivers Race took place on Saturday amidst blustery conditions.
The event attracted a mixed fleet of local cruising and racing yachts, and challenging weather and tide timings set the stage for some exciting tactical sailing and skilled dinghy handling.
Competition wasn’t just limited to the water; organisers threw in some surprise mud-larking and cross-country running, with a mile-long run to the Freston Boot and back!
With generous event sponsorship from Fox's Marina & Chandlery, Dolphin Sails, HSA Accountants, STA-LOK, Elite Yacht Covers, Fox's Yacht Sails, One Sails, Auto's Yacht Services, Allen Gardiner, Sestina, Protec, BCQ Group and Sail and Cover Ltd, everyone enjoyed some great prizes and excellent hospitality from The Outlook.
