All 3 Rigs were represented although the forecast may have reduced numbers across the board with cold strong winds on both Saturday and Sunday giving many intrepid sailors an early bath.

Five races were held over the 2 days with 3 races on the Saturday and 2 on the Sunday with 1 discard.

In the Radial fleet Jon Emmett from Weir Wood reined supreme winning all 5 races and truly demonstrating his awesome talent as one of the finest Radial sailors in the world.

James Grant from Restronguet proved to be the closest Cornish challenger finishing 12th overall and 5th Junior with Douglas Lloyd Haynes from Newquay finishing 37th and Harry Houlding from Fowey Gallants back in 41st place.

In the Standard fleet Stephen Grant from Restronguet finished 16th overall.

Our best finisher in the Laser 4.7 fleet was Harvey Davies in 5th with David Grant in 7th and Alice Burford in 11th place.

It was a wet and windy venue and I salute all the young sailors and their families for making the long journey up North on such a miserable weekend.
