FFSC Falcon Lanner 60 skippered by Warrington sailor Bob Backhouse and crew, win the Falcon Class at the Menai Straits Regatta, a first for Fidlers Ferry Sailing Club in the Liverpool Bay Falcon Associations 56 year history
The regatta is over run over 7 days for the Falcon Trophy with Lanner 60 taking 5th 5th 2nd 3rd 2nd & 1st with one day lost for bad weather
This event is one of the top sailing events in the UK for many sailing classes and highly competed for in the North West, West Kirby Falcon Fleet have never been beaten in this event, so this has proved to be a land mark achievement for Fidlers Ferry SC.
Other FFSC boats completed the regatta with Stone Hawk 65 skipperd by Dave Irvine and crew were placed 6th overall
Cheers
