Daren Fitchew (Sprint 15)   – Yachting News Trophy                  – Class 2 Multihull

Kyle Stoneham (Moth)        – Nore Race Group 2 Trophy           – Monohull Dinghy Group Overall

Kyle Stoneham (Moth)        – Dauntless Boatyard Trophy          – Class 3 monohull

Kyle Stoneham (Moth)        – Greene King Shield                      – First single-handed monohull

Mark Jewell (Sandhopper)   – Denis Kemp Trophy                    – Class 5 monohull

Mark Jewell (Sandhopper)   – Thorpe Bay YC Trophy                – Sandhopper Class

Line honours for Kyle on the foiling moth in 1hr 20, the total distance sailed an amazing 42km in the race with 72.4km covered on the day.
The fast cats doing 2 laps could easily have covered 85km in the race, quite amazing stamina needed for that in almost perfect conditions.

This Saturday I am assure the rain will have stopped, the sun will be out and the winds fair… a great day to get out on the Water.

If you are able you can race on a shortened course in the Club Racing at 10am, if you are learning to helm you can sail from the beach in your OPen Bic, Terra or Pico, younger cadets can come and join in the Oppie fun on the beach from 9am. See you on the beach.
