This year’s season kicked off today in glorious weather. As well as the traditional raising of the flag (a task that fell to me despite loud protests and claims of a fear of heights), the programme included the christening of two new boats.
The boats are outriggers for racing, and like the other outriggers, they were named after figures from Norse mythology: Thor and Gungner.
