Brixham

 

 

Steve Linley-Shaw reports three active racing Sonatas at Brixham: Blues Breaker – owned by Tom Savage, Rodeo – Mark Hobbs and Steve's boat – “a piano!”. They hope to entice another to buy soon…

The Sonatas race Thursday nights and one day each week end. The Regatta sees more Sonatas and the end of August brings a big new event this year – Torbay week.

Brixham Yacht Club is a friendly town club with good atmosphere and superb site overlooking the harbour.

The crew of "a piano!" have at last solved the question that many of us have been asking for years – "what's the point of pursuit races?". Photos show pursuit races BYC “a piano!” style. 2006 crew dressed for their projected voyage to the South Pole. 2007 Swan Lake – another failure/ forgot to build webbed feet for take off – lack of wind and propelled mostly by the loud speaker on the back.
