This year's bulwark trophy was part of a double handed regatta run by Hayling island sailing club that also included the 5o5 class, the Fireballs, and Merlin rockets.
As this event was not paired with the Southern Championships the attendance of visitors was low with only 4 boats from other clubs.
The weather forecast for the event was challenging and in the end the sailing on the Saturday the 6th of June was cancelled due to the force 7 gusting nine winds sweeping the country.
