Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club
The continued sunshine and pleasant breeze were the ideal conditions for racing at the lake on Sunday 11 June. This was one of the monthly series of racing designed to help those less experienced to have the chance to race with the established helms.
The results, however, were predictable as the breeze was at the level to give Richard and Heather Marsh in their fast RS400 wins in the first two races. It was also likely that Martin Brennan, in his Solo, would be runner up in those races. Despite the thunder and threat of lightening, he was one of the few that went out for a third race, which he won. Les Bithell and Emma Turner, in a Merlin Rocket, were consistent too with a couple of third places.
On Saturday, Club Juniors were away winning. Jasper Bramwell was at Pennine Sailing Club in Derbyshire for the Topper North West Championship which he won. He is the overall champion for the North having also won the North East event.
At Delph Sailing Club in Bolton, the girls were the stars. This was an event of the RYA North West Junior Travellers Series. Lauren Marsh was the leading girl under 16 years of age, with Millie Hayfield second. In the under 14s category, it was Annabelle Hayfield who took the honours, ahead of Jess Marsh.
It will be the annual Solo Class Open event this weekend.
