In the build up to the National Championships in Pentewan Sands over the Queen's Jubilee, the Lark adventures continued with a trip to Rock in Cornwall over the first May Bank Holiday, sharing the event with friends in the Merlin Rocket fleet.
Racing was run over three days with a usual race series on Saturday and Sunday and short course champs on Monday. Spring tides and light winds made for challenging conditions across the total of twelve races sailed, but all left the shore with smiles on their sun-caught faces.
The overall open meeting result was then calculated by combining the results of the two series with John & Vicky Brickwood awarded the winning Salver trophy with Stuart & Nick Hydon second and Stuart & Julia Allen third.
A big thanks to Rock sailing club and race officer Martin Hough for efficiently running races in difficult conditions. The Larks have enjoyed countless events at Rock and will continue to do so as this year's event did not disappoint. The travellers series moves onto the Frensham Pond Sailing Club for the Youth Championships and Open Meeting for the 14th/15th May weekend.
