Attention grabbing lead changes and tight racing in shifty winds was the order of the day on Saturday and Sunday – not just on the Cityfront in some other race, but at this year's Totally Dinghy Regatta at Richmond Yacht Club.

After the racing was done in the afternoon, the sailors headed up to watch that other regatta on the big screen TV and catch up on any news they may have missed. Some people choose to race their own boats instead of watching other people race. But on this particular weekend it was hard to compete against the AC72s.
