Equity Trustees Pope’s Eye Cup Couta Boat Race Results
12/01/2010
The annual Equity Trustees Pope’s Eye Cup Couta Boat Race was held in Sorrento over the weekend. Now in it's fifth year, the Race was a fantastic event with blue skies and playful dolphins charming the participants.
The Race came very close to being cancelled as strong winds picked up only minutes before start time. To our delight, the boats started as planned and set a very fast pace before turning back against the tide. A great day was had by all.
Below are the Race results. For full results, please visit the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club website (www.sscbc.com.au).
