After four years of COVID-initiated absence, the Anglesey Offshore Dinghy Race returned with a windy day of a high-speed action on the 13th of August.

Given the forecast of gusts of over 30 knots in the open Red Wharf Bay, the Race Officer Jeremy Entwistle, delayed the decision to run the full course until 90 minutes before the start. The briefing, kindly hosted as usual by the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club, was focused on the very different nature of the AODR from your usual round-the-buoys outing.
