Wednesday Evening Personal Pursuit

As the wednesday evening series starts to climax there is a three way tie for the lead between Dave, Barry and Ian. Sarah and Richard are both within two point (one win!) of overtaking them all, with John S and Chris Mann just a touch further behind. Yet to qualify but equally threatening is John A two light drifty evenings and he could wrap up the series late on.

So far 21 different helms have takern part with a biggest start of 13, there have been other craft out cruising too.

Rollesby Broad’s World Champion

Rollesby regular Dennis Manning has been enjoying great team success taking a Gold Medal in the World Blind Match Racing championships held in Perth, Australia. Dennis competes as headsail trimmer for the GB team along with Nick Donnini (mainsail) and Vicki Sheen (Helm). Sailing takes place in Sonar keel boats with acoustic signals from bouys and boats to indicate course and directions.

The championship comes to the UK next year so we’ll have home champions with a title to defend. It is hoped that the format which has been developed over the last few years is now sufficiently tested that it can be included in the paraolympics in 2020.
