Sailors in Musselburgh enjoyed their annual yacht regatta at the weekend.

After weeks of glorious weather and perfect sailing wind conditions, the two-day event was wet and windless on Saturday.

Sunday’s race was initially hampered by thick fog but a breeze blew in, Fisherrow Yacht Club reported.

Former club commodore, Mark McClelland, said: “Heavy rain and light winds greeted competitors in Fisherrow Yacht Club’s annual regatta on Saturday, which was rather a shock to the system after all the sunny weather we have been enjoying.

“The race organiser, commodore Alison Holstead, managed to squeeze in two races before the wind abandoned the race course completely, leaving David Banks, racing on yacht Swirley, in pole position with two wins out of two.”

Mr McClelland explained: “Sunday brought a thick haar on the water and a lifeless wind as the boats motored out of the harbour on the rising tide.

“Luckily, by start time the haar had been blown further up the Forth towards the bridges by a lovely breeze from the north east, bringing perfect sailing conditions.”

Mr McClelland added: “Swirley, just back from seven weeks cruising the West of Scotland, prevailed with a full house of five firsts, Deantoun came second, recording three seconds on the Sunday, and yacht Sulumar, raced singlehandedly by skipper Dennis Walton, came third overall.

“Yacht Firecracker enjoyed her first ever regatta with new skippers Thoren Ferguson and Paul Hay. Their highlight was dominating a very congested and exciting startline in the final race. Well done to them and well done to the event organisers for a great weekend’s racing.”
