21st July: Darings, Dragons, and XOD’s

The classic Solent day-boat racing classes usually race in the east part of the central Solent but while on watch at NCI Stone Point on Sunday 21st July we saw a number of classes using the East Lepe buoy as a turning mark with the North East Gurnard as the next mark.  This course did not bring them particularly close to Lepe and the light was not good for photography.  However it seemed worth taking a few photos of classes we don’t often see.
