Well done to everyone who sailed the aptly named Frozen Sheets Trophy today. There were many spectators keenly watching the start having been entertained by RFT and Tubby Duce throwing themselves in the water just as they left the slipway. Congratulations to Mike Lennon for winning the trophy for the second year running.

in fact Thorpe Bay also features in April with the N12s

A fantastic start to the Winter Series, when I looked around everyone had big grins on their faces! If you want to join in the fun, get your entry form and remittance in double quick. If you are out there racing and haven’t got round to sending your cheque in yet, then you need to send it to the club secretary straight away otherwise disqualification will be the result!

Kyle Stoneham decided not to defend his Inland Sprint 15 National title at Grafham last week end (he wanted to but you can only sail one boat at a time unfortunately!). Instead he opted to join up with Hugh Styles at the same venue & & compete in the F18 Inland Nationals sailing a Nacra Infusion. Some very hairy racing especially on Sunday created eventful situations for all competitors but guess who came through to win? Team Styles & Stoneham are the 2009 F18 Inland National Champs.
