The excitement is growing! Just 2 days to go.
Check out the Uf50.org website for the latest including details of some of the interesting boats attending, including the Atalantas. The event is far more than the regatta with family activities, an Uffa Trail around Cowes, talks, exhibitions and receptions. If you can get to Cowes it will be fun and interesting.
A1 Atalanta, A102 Atalanta Mary and A124 Helene are on the way to Cowes where they will join A100 Jaunty and A138 Sweet Sue, the latter voyaging from Guernsey. A31-4 Gellie and A174 Aquilo II were planning to attend but circumstances have prevented it.
Here are a few photos on the trip from the East Coast for A1,A102 and A104.
