Loch Tummel 22nd - 23rd July

Bess Homer won the trophy and Katie Mapplebeck was runner up at the Inlands at Loch Tummel SC on 22-23 July. Europe newcomer Guy Revill travelled from Devon to take third place and last year's champion  Gareth Williams came fourth. In all twenty boats took part in the weekend and enjoyed some closely competitive racing. Eighteen sailors also turned out at the training day on the preceding Friday. Full report here.

Scottish Championships

Largo Bay 24th - 25th June


Brian Finnie won the Scottish Championships after some closley fought racing at Largo Bay. The low turnout was disappointing and with insufficient boats to claim a class start, the Europes joined the general handicap, with results computed from the Europe's relative finishing places. The low numbers and the inclusion in the handicap meant that the racing became a mixture of handicap tactics at the start to gain clear wind away from the larger boats and match racing tactics at the finish as places were attacked or defended approaching the line.
