Firstly congratulations to our Club Championship winners.

Ollie Boyle secured first place in the Hardy Cup after a close tussle with Pete Washington with the Championship only decided on the last leg of the final race. 

Charlie Hewgill won the U16 Little Hardy Cup racing against a mixed fleet of Laser Standard, Radial, 4.7 and Picos. Again this was a very competitive fleet with different winners in each race. Race 1 going to Elise Gibaut, Race 2 won by Lottie Ohlsson and Race 3 to Charlie who overall had some very consistent results. Runner up was Morgan Surcouf who made a strong challenge sailing a Laser Standard, however needed extra distance between himself and the slower boats for handicaps to work in his favour but nevertheless ended up a very credible 2nd overall.

Well done again to the winners and to everyone who qualified and took part in what was our third attempt to run this championship due to adverse weather.

The Condor Series is now underway with Paul Raimbault currently at the top of the leaderboard after two races. Unfortunately we had to cancel Races 3 and 4 because of that weather again! Anyway there are still 4 more races to go. 

We then finish off the season’s racing on Sunday 27th October with the re-sail of the Class Championships and hopefully we can make this a GRAND FINALE with a big turnout of boats.

On a final note your Sailing Committee has already prepared a draft Sailing Programme for next year and at this point we would like the membership to let us know if there are any changes you would like to see for next year. Just get in touch with a member of the Sailing Committee, we welcome feedback.

In the meantime Happy Sailing

Sailing Committee
