Strong winds and fierce competition marked the Barton Bunny event at the Norfolk Punt Club this Easter weekend. Sailors faced gusts reaching force 6 to 7, but a brief window of manageable conditions allowed 15 entries to race. Team E, crewed by Mark and Ella Elson alongside Emily and Henry Drew, dominated the course, finishing two laps ahead of the competition. Gav Page and Camilla Craker-Horton secured second place in their 2000, while Robert Friend helmed YBOD Frosted Orange to third overall. Junior helm Henry Drew in Purple Pirate shone brightly, claiming the title for the top junior. The Punts faced survival challenges, with multiple capsizes impacting the race. What unfolds in this high-stakes environment reveals the true resilience of these competitors amidst the elements.
