SWIFTSURE REGATTA 2023 Results

The annual opportunity for the members of the LBT to come together for some, “messing about in boats.” 

As we know the LBT is custodian of a vast number and variety of craft, many of which were put through their paces on Saturday. 

Huge thank you to our members that came along, participated and helped out on the day. Once again our neighbour Frank’s Cider was very generous in providing prizes for race winners. It is much appreciated Naomi.

More photos of the day will follow.
