Jim Newbery invitation series - 4th and 5th July 2009

Jim Newbery

On Saturday and Sunday the 4th and 5th July, Herne Bay Sailing Club ran a two-day regatta in honour of ex-Commodore and one of it’s favourite sons, the late Jim Newbery.

This is a special occasion when present, and ex-members of the club race over two days for the Jim Newbery trophy. The regatta started on Saturday with a long race around the pier head, which was one of Jim’s favourite trips in his little yellow Mirror dinghy in which he won many club races.
