Speed Sails do it again
49 Enterprises on the water, there was an entry of 52 boats but circumstances prevented 3 competitors attending the event. BCYC provided an excellent venue for what turned out to be a titanic battle between Nick /Toby (23170 Team Gill from Frensham Pond SC) and Alan Johnson/Paula Fisher (19876 Subsonic Whinkle from SCYC/SSC).
This championship was a two day event. Saturday started in calm conditions but the wind increased in strength to a force 4-5 causing some capsizes and boat damage. Sunday was a force 3-4 variable with fewer incidents. This championship was so close, races 1, 2 and 5 being taken by our Inland Champions Nick & Toby and races 3 and 4 by the runners up Alan Johnson and Paula Fisher. There was also some first class sailing from Ann Jackson and Richard Adams that gave Ann third overall and the Enterprise Inland Ladies Championship. Enterprise Youth Champions were Chris Winters & Alex Homer.
