Double Diamond Jubilee Regatta 2012

Expectations are building nicely for West Riding SC’s Double Diamond Jubilee Regatta to be held over the weekend 26/27th May, and celebrating the club’s 75th anniversary.

As one of its attractions the regatta will be hosting the Streaker Inland Championship. It will also be featuring a Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy class for boats designed before 1965 and over 25 years old, and supported by the CVDRA. This class will be strengthened by the presence of some of the home club Swordfish that have been sailing at West Riding SC since 1948.
