BSC Optimist Open 2022

On Saturday 17th September, Chichester Harbour was invaded by Optimists from all over the South for our Open.

With a record 109 boats on the water (69 in the main harbour and 40 off Cobnor), it was an impressive sight to behold and required some strong race management from the two race officer teams. The weather couldn't have been kinder to our young cadet sailors with glorious blue skies and a breeze that filled in shortly after launching.

The main event was won by Joe Wimpory of both HISC and Bewl sailing clubs; against such stiff competition, Tom Eastwood was our highest placed Bosham boat in 24th place. In the regatta fleet, Sean Salle of Gurnard Sailing Club took the trophy home and the first Bosham boat was Annabelle Francis in 14th place.
