Plymouth Youth Sailing did a great job over the weekend, hosting an event that WASZP sailors will always remember!
With Plymouth playing host to SailGP and the WASZP SailGP Inspire program, the sheltered waters of Plymouth Sound have been proven as an outstanding venue for foiling. WASZPs from throughout the southwest, west Wales, the Isle of Wight and London all gathered on Saturday morning excited to take to the Sound despite a very fruity forecast!
Sam Whaley, who recently took second at the WASZP International Games, took the win in all five races to comfortably seal the overall event, able to discard his retirement from day one. Pollard, Evans and Fry were in regular battle for second and third whilst Bella Fellows and Hattie Rogers contested the podium on numerous occasions during a fierce battle for the women's prize.
In the end, Evans took second place, discarding a UFD and counting four second places and a fourth. Tom Pollard edged out Fry by a point and Bella Fellows just got the better of Rogers, again by a single point. Adam Raeburn-James was the first master ahead of Bruce Allan, who put in a real shift in the tough conditions!
Thanks to Plymouth Youth Sailing and the Mount Batten Watersports Centre for providing one of the most enjoyable weekends of WASZPing this year! Next up for the class is the end of season championships in Rutland in November. Stay tuned!
