Over a busy weekend at Whitstable, Kyle won the Saturday Series with one first and two seconds. He then went on to score a third and double points in the Forts Race Tornado medal series race to secure overall victory. A supreme effort by Kyle and Oliver Herve in what was their first ever Tornado national event. None of ther other Tornado sailors had met this all conquering team from Thorpe Bay Yacht Club – but they wont forget them in a hurry either !

 

Congratulations to David White for winning the F18 series beating a profesional crew from Nacra UK to score a sensational series win with a large fleet of very competative sailors. 

 

Nick Elmore and Sam Spratt came second in the mixed fleet to complete a great event.

 

Thorpe Bay Yacht Club was mentioned more than any other at yesterday’s prize giving – certainly an impressive set of results.

Where does the time fly when you are having fun!! There are only about six weeks to the end of the season. Well I thought I would get in quick to helms thinking “where am I going to get someone daft enough to sail through the winter?”. I am looking to crew on Sundays in the Winter Series. So if is anyone out there looking and is willing to take on someone who is more willing then able but who has got permission from their wife!!! Then please feel free to contact me on 07870258724.

For winning the Sprint Nationals, must be heading towards some kind of record for number of times you can get your name on the board in a year!
try for all 3 next year

Hi All,

I’ve put all the results into HALS to date and published them on the web, if you have any queries with any of them, please see me after sailing over the weekend to address them.
