Sunday July 4 2010 and 13 hardy souls braved the chill of a clear winter's morning to front up at Champion Lakes for the Perth Metropolitan Ranking regatta.

As is the norm in Perth during winter, if there is a large high pressure system hovering overhead, the mornings drop to almost Zero degrees, the skys are blue and clear, and the wind forgets to blow. Such was the case this morning.

Saturday July 3 is the annual Henry Mareria Memorial Regatta at Jackadder Lake.

Henry joined Perth Radio Sailing Club late in life and bought an infectious enthusiasm to the lakeside. Henry was a terrific Clubman who enjoyed and fostered commeraderie around the club. He passed away two years ago.

Perth Radio Sailing Club remembers Henry by naming this annual regatta in his honour.
Racing commences at 2.00pm. Please stay back after racing to drink a toast to Henry.
