2013 Season gets underway - with a cancellation!

So the first race of the season was cancelled at the weekend - too cold and miserable.

But we'll try again next weekend with the Spring Regatta and Shipwrecked Mariner. See you then.

Topper and Laser Trophies

Well done to Tom Joice, George Chilvers and Sophy Lambert who took podium places in the Topper Trophy, fought over 7 races. In a 15 boat fleet the series was tightly fought with some tight battles on the start line. Ed Wightman won the Laser Trophy, sailing very well in all races. Prize giving will be on Sunday

Oram Trophy results

Sorry it's taken me so long to post these. It was an unusual series. The first day was blustery and we held a good race at Brancaster, but there was no wind on the second day so we towed through to Burnham. Thanks to out friends at BOSSC we held two races on day 3, a shortened course around Burnham and then a passage race through the marsh back to the finish line at Brancaster. The trophy was won by Sam Stocks in his Laser Radial, but the Topper class was very tight with Sophy Lambt winning by one point from Max Deakin. George Chilvers was next, followed by Henry Blunt, Bertie Stocks and Fitz Harding.

Fun race and Grand Prix results - see pictures in the gallery

Well done Lucy & Maddie for winning the Fun Race on Saturday. 28 sailors took part in the event, with the winners scooping sail for gold medals. Pictures are on the gallery.

In Sunday's Allcomers Grand prix we had one of the biggest Junior fleets of recent years out with 22 boats and 29 sailors competing. At the front of the fleet it was very close with Sam and Natasha Stocks just beating Max Deakin (Topper) and Craig Ransom (Laser Radial) on handicap. But the real action took place before the start when a violent thunderstorm caused a postponement and a world record 21 sailors manged to take shelter inside the starters hut (see gallery).

In the Junior varsity section Amelia Chilvers sailed a tremendous race but just swung wide at line buoy to allow Oscar through for a win.
