All the results are up on the BSC website here -
As for my nationals predictions - for the fleets that raced , Tornado and Spitfires i can with a big head say i called it spot on !!!
Tornado Nats - Well done to Grant Piggott sailing with Robby Jon who won the T fleet, Grant had been trying to win this one for about 30 years so its about time the old boy got a win !!!
Henry White and Ed Redfearn won out in the Spitfires nats, after a tough saturday when they capsized in the 2nd race of the day while leading the fleet they didnt let the pressure get to them and took the next four race wins to deservedly become champions.
In the other fleets the Shadows failed to get a race in so will need to find another event to get their nationals in this year, id bet on the Grafham open weekend for that.
F18s - We won yes get in there !! my first open win in the F18 fleet but pushed extremely hard by the infusions of Tom/Trevor on the saturday and Fraz/Seb on Sunday.
Hurricanes - Toby Gray and James Suter won convincingly in this fleet which must be a nice feeling for Toby who is normally defending Queen and Country abroad and has just returned from a tour in Afghanistan !!!
Final Thought -
The atmosphere at BSC all weekend was fantastic, the sailing was competitive but more importantly it was just so much fun to be part of such a great event, well done to everyone involved you put so much effort into it - the prizegiving was an emotional one, it always was going to be with Reg passsing earlier this year- RIP Reg your family did you proud !!!
