Jessica Cup

October 21, 2010

Among the plethora of races taking place on the Cityfront last weekend was the Jessica Cup regatta for Master Mariner boats. The Lapworth 36 and Farallon Clipper classes each had three boats, while six raced in a mixed Marconi division. The gaffers were absent this year.
