Round 2 of the Midlands Topper Traveller 2022-2023 Series took place at South Staffs Sailing Club on Saturday 1st October 2022.
South Staffs SC is unique in our calendar as it features an Island in the middle of the water which the sailors have to navigate past and with the gusting wind conditions, this was going to prove to be tricky and certainly had the capability to make or break a sailor's race.
There was also a number new Topper sailors from visiting clubs trying their hand at racing in the Midlands, we are looking forward to seeing them at our future events on the Traveller circuit.
With an excellent team of volunteers in place for the event and the Race officer team consisting of Ex-topper Sailor Finn Morgan and his Father; David, we were certain of a great day of Topper racing.
The race for the 4.2 honours came down to the final race and it was Ed Whittaker (Draycote) with his discard from race 1 who leap-frogged Mia Hateley to take the 4.2 Classification win.
The award for the "Top Topper True Grit" awards were presented by the host club to Hari Clark and Alex Stainton who worked hard all day and did not let the tricky conditions beat them. Well Done!
Congratulations to Jessica Powell (Event Winner), Ed Whittaker (4.2 Winner) and our "True Grit" Topper Sailors.
Thank you to South Staffs SC for running an amazing event and making all of the Topper Sailors and families so welcome. We are looking forward to returning to South Staffs as part of our future Traveller Series.
