LYME REGIS FIGHT IT OUT ON THE DART
Lyme Regis Gig Club
travelled down to race at the Dart Pilot Gig Club Regatta on Saturday 6th April for what is a keenly contested
series of races with nine competitive clubs including Caradon, Cattewater,
Ilfracombe, Teign, Rame, Dart, Appledore, Salcombe.
The Dart Gig Regatta
start line was just seaward of the town’s higher ferry and the 1.2 mile course
went down the river mouth to two marker buoys beneath the picturesque castle and
back with a finish line adjacent to Dartmouth Sailing Club. The racing started
just after midday as the high tide turned and with sunny weather, cool, light
south easterly wind, made for a wonderful afternoon’s event. Excellent viewing
for spectators, fantastic hospitality from the Dart Pilot Gig Club and a
meandering harbour dolphin followed the boats as they left the pontoon.
Lyme Regis fielded teams
in all the nine races with Lyme Ladies A & B both coming 8th; Lyme Regis
Men’s A came 6th, and the B’s 4th. In the veterans races
Lyme’s Ladies came 6th and the Men came 7th, both
the Lyme Ladies and Men’s C crew’s came 4th and the Mixed Crew came 7th.
