The East Coast Annual August Classics Cruise, 2017, started in Ipswich as usual with a passage race and regatta in the Wet Dock. The fleet then moved south, mooring at Walton Backwaters with beers ashore at Stone Point, then on down to West Mersea, Osea Island, Heybridge Basin, Maldon, Pyefleet and Brightlingsea. There was racing, cruising, gafferteering and a 'drink all you can' brewery trip! We're grateful to Sandy Miller for sharing some of his photos with us.
