With the tide being out this weekend Stone S.C. are resurrecting one for the oldest and well-loved races on the river Blackwater.
This year with a planned course starting on the club start line at 11:00am to the Bench Head and back.16 miles approx.
For the old salts that keep the sailing club bars afloat around the Blackwater this is a challenging race with many tales being told of great races in days of old. For the younger crash and burn, three hop in and out racing of today, a first leg to a rounding mark you cannot see may well be a real treat.
With high-pressure building and an unknown fleet arriving this has the makings of a ‘race on’ event.Report to follow

As a previous winner of the Rum Tub and Bung when it was run by the Maldon Little Ships Club I wonder if the archives of all previous winners is available anywhere?
