Glorious weather for the UK nationals this year at Hayling Island with steady westerly wind for all three days and racing out in the bay. This year was not just a nationals, but also being used as a test run for the organisation of the worlds to be held next year. The event started with a full measurement process, The Hayling club then ran a magnificent race team with over 30 people out on the water, guiding the fleet to and from the course, starting the races on time and laying a course with superb angles. It was all a little windy for me, so we were trailing at the back of the fleet most of the time, but still injoying the racing with those around us.
The entry of over 40 boats, including visitors from The Netherlands, Germany and Australia comming to test out the waters and we hope they went home to give back glowing reports. The photographer, Peter Hickson, out on the water took some stunning pictures and these can be seen here. The results can be seen here.
