CBYC Dragon Series 2025
Last Saturday, July 12th, CBYC hosted their leg of the South Wales Dragon Series. The series is hosted by South Wales clubs, allowing for newer sailors to get to some new and interesting venues to compete whilst giving regular sailors a chance to practice against local competition. The event saw 24 entries from a variety of South Wales clubs, across the 3 fleets, Training handicap, Junior Handicap and General Handicap. With light breeze for 3 races in the morning the afternoon was adapted to become paddle races once the wind had gone.
