Firefly leads Steamer until Final Moments

The thirtieth Exe Sails and Covers Starcross Steamer was held on Sunday 19^th January. This was also the 5^th race in the 10-race Sailing Southwest series where competitors compete in winter pursuit races all over the south-west. Due to high winds the Steamer last year had to be cancelled, so we were a little concerned that we might not get up to the 100-boat limit. We need not have worried: within 14 days of the entries being open we had a waiting list.    Photo Gallery by Garnett Showell is here
