Ten Dart 15 travellers were welcomed by three home sailors to Carsington Sailing Club on a glorious autumn day and with the sun shining, warm temperatures and moderate breeze, the Derbyshire Dales / reservoir vista was looking superb - hard to imagine the change in weather fortunes over the course of the regatta.
The nationally regarded home club race management team of PRO Henry Wright and ARO's Keith & Liz Appleby were joined by Matthew Stephenson, a local sailor and budding race officer who was keen to learn the craft of running a slick event. The team on the committee boat were ably assisted by the mark laying/safety team of Murray Leiper, John Cunningham and Ceri Knapgate setting a trapezoidal course for both days of racing.
A prize-giving in the clubhouse recognised the top finishers with congratulations to Jason Clarke on a stellar performance to retain his Northern Championship title. And also sailing superbly well, 2nd Jenny Ball, 3rd Liam Thom.
