23 Merlin Rockets travelled to Burton Sailing Club for the rescheduled Inland Championship with a much depleted Foremark reservoir and a forecast for wind and rain. The well-organised race team got everything under way on time, without even a black flag, just as the wind was beginning to build to a gusty 10-15knots south westerly. The course was a relatively short sausage/triangle for five rounds.
Tom & Rachel took the Championships, completing a fantastic season and were crowned Grand Slam Champions 2022 having won the big four of Salcombe Week, the Craftinsure Silver Tiller and the Aspire National Championships.
The next three places all tied on points, separated on count-back, meant that James Goss & Chris Kilsby were second, Mike & Jane Calvert third and Taxi & Pete were fourth.
The Gold fleet was won by Rob Kennaugh & Andrew Prosser, the Silver by Colin & Sean Anderson and the Bronze by Nigel & Freya Hudson.
Many thanks to Burton Sailing Club for stepping up to run a really great end of season Inlands!
That concludes the 2022 Merlin Rocket season. There's a bit of an exciting shake-up coming in 2023, with more local events and changes to how we qualify for the Craftinsure Silver Tiller.
