An excellent turnout of nineteen boats saw some close racing in the usual fickle Trimpley winds. It was good to see nine visitors join the Trimpley sailors and we trust they "enjoyed" their sailing in our little pond. John Ling, from Bartley SC dominated the three races as usual, and comfortably won the Standard, Master and Overall titles. Simon Hardiman, also from Bartley SC, was second overall and Ellie Craig from Draycote SC came home in third place overall. Ellie also won the U21 series. Read 7 more paragraphs
