K6 Inland Championships at Oxford Sailing Club

 Fourteen K6s took part in the inland championships. Three races were run on the Saturday over a windward-leeward course in 10 gusting 15 knots of breeze.

 A great social meal which was organised by John Tabor was held at the Vine in Cumnor and all were ready for the second three races on Sunday.

Harry and George were first overall with Ian and Sandy second only one point less than Richard Kate and Mick in third.

Miles Roebuck and his team on the committee boat did a fantastic job of running the races and his mark layers had to work hard moving the windward and pin end buoy with the changing wind direction. Thanks also to Adrian Howe who took the excellent photos on Sunday.

The prize-winners greatly appreciated the sponsorship from Sailingchandlery and Harry B will be ordering a trapeze harness from them this week for his 49er sailing. A special mention must go to Grant and Charlie who were sailing Grant's K6 Risqué for the first time this weekend and despite not having the newest of sails were very quick and will be a team to watch at future regattas.
