Forty-seven sailors in 21 boats competed in the VOOM Keelboat Weekend at Ullswater Yacht Club on October 9 and 10, enjoying six close windward/leeward races against the beautiful backdrop of the Lakeland fells.
UYC has a long tradition of keelboat racing and the event, sponsored by VOOM Sports Nutrition, was for Tempests, Flying Fifteens, VXOnes and SB20s.
Jono and Ben Shelley picked up their game with two firsts and two seconds to win the VXOne fleet. A Sunday surge by UYC's Josh Moran and James Lyons who got the other two firsts and a second put them in third place, Lewis/Cutting in second. In the other fleets the overnight leaders maintained their positions to win first places overall.
A big thank you to sponsors VOOM (www.voomnutrition.co.uk) and to all the volunteers who gave up their weekend to help run the event.
