Draycote Water Sailing Club held the 2022 Gul Inland Championship, the last Fireball event of the year. After a busy season it was good to see over 30 boats arrive including many new teams from far away along with some young teams coming from the 420 class.
Once again it was a fine display of sailing and racing by Tom & Shandy - a deserved win making it a triple with the Worlds, Nationals and now the Inlands. This was also the final event of the Gul Golden Dolphin series which was won by Dave Hall & Paul Constable, with Derian & Andy as runners-up.
The Draycote fleet provided competitors with an abundance of cake at the prize-giving - a welcome calorie boost before the journey home!
The Fireball fleet is hugely grateful to Gul for sponsoring the Inland Championship and the Golden Dolphin series.
