Paignton Sailing Club was once again host to one of the largest fleets of single handed dinghy - the Supernova National Championships - which took place on 30 June, 1 and 2 July.
As expected the team at Paignton were phenomenal all the way through the event, from the beach crew, the mark layers, the safety crew (boy were they needed!) right through to the PRO Ian Bullock. The Supernova fleet will be back for sure and encourage any classes out there looking for a top flight club to host your event to get in touch with the Paignton team.
The Class Association also want to thank the team at Hartley Boats for once again supporting the event with entry vouchers.
With most of the 94 strong fleet arriving the day before the event started there was an air of excitement on "the green" with lots of people catching up with old friends and getting the latest on tweaks to rigging. The gold fleet were meeting their buddy groups and trying to share a few pointers for the on the water onslaught that would follow.
Overall it was close, really close, there was just one point in it. With 5 race wins it was Alistair Goodwin to take the overall win.
