Bala Sailing Club Easter Regatta, sponsored by Mailspeed Marine was combined with the International Moth Inland Nationals and saw a good turnout of 75 boats of a wide variety of classes. There were 5 fleet starts - RS400's, Asymmetrics, International Moths, Fast and Slow Handicaps.

On Saturday, two races were sailed in a force 3 to 4 south-westerly, the ideal wind direction for the lake. Steve Venables dominated the RS400 fleet and Chris and Rachel Jenkins, in a RS200, the asymmetrics, winning both races. In the Fast Handicap fleet, Andy Long and Mark McGarry in a Hornet won the first race and Ed Wright, better known as a Laser sailor won the second in a 505. Nigel Oswald and Ian Fosdike won the first two International Moth races, providing exciting sailing for the spectators. The Slow Handicap fleet was dominated by the not-so-slow Laser Radial, helmed by Chris Russell, who won both races, beating the local Topper sailor, Chris Grube into second place.

Sunday was a day of mixed weather and fortunes and only one race could be sailed, the wind dying away after lunch to give way to a persistent downpour and thunderstorm.

A further two races were sailed on Monday, with the wind varying from a light to moderate south to south-westerly, providing challenging conditions for the competitors and Race Officers alike. Tony Woods and Steve Venables won the 4^th and 5^th RS400 races, the International Moths sailed only one race, won by Ian Fosdike with Nigel Oswald in second place, and in the asymmetrics, Bruce Lenton, in a Laser 5000 and Chris Jenkins in a RS200 won the 4^th and 5^th races respectively. Chris Russell did not have it all his own way in the Slow Handicap, winning race 4 but coming second to Dave Grube of Bala in the fifth. In the Fast Handicap, J. Jones in a Hornet was the most consistent sailor of the fleet , gaining two second places , with the first places going to Ed Wright in the 505 and J. Taylor in a Laser.
