MOCRA National Championships 2023 at the Isle of Wight

 

This year's MOCRA National Championships was for the first time ever held in two locations; the first four races off Wootton supported by the Royal Victoria YC, then a passage race (via the Nab Tower) to Bembridge and the final three races off Bembridge supported by Bembridge SC. A challenging arrangement for the organisers but one that was voted a resounding success!

Three days of excellent racing and with two discards applied, the top three places were 3rd - Hissy Fit on a count back with Sanity; 2nd Alini and 1st Origami.

Many thanks indeed to the RO team, the Mark Layers, the supporting staff from both RVYC and BSC, the sponsors (Highwater Sails, PR Systems, allspars & the MultihullCentre.com), and of course, all the competitors.
