It's not been a straightforward few months of weather, but after a friendly Tiger Trophy it looks like the wind is also set fair for a favourable Zhik Oxford Blue this Saturday.
More than 70 boats are already entered for the Zhik Oxford Blue, this weekend's event which is set to bring the 16th edition of the Seldén Sailjuice Winter Series to a conclusion.
With the prize-giving for the Series set to open the RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show soon after doors open on 22nd February, there is one team who will be hard to topple for the top spot, although there's still plenty to play for in the jostling for podium places.
A total of 375 boats have gained a ranking, and 16 have already qualified after the Tiger Trophy. Tom Gillard and Rach Gray (Scorpion) retain the top spot, with Sam Watson and Charlie Cotter (GP14) jumping nine places to 2nd overall. Megan Pascoe (2.4 mR), is up seven to 5th overall.
Still to qualify is K1 champion, Simon Hawkes and multiple class champion Nick Craig (Finn) sitting in 17th and 18th places respectively. Ben Flower has two entries in 18th and 19th, for RS Aero 9 and ILCA 7. All three of these top sailors could yet make big gains for a final podium place, provided they turn in a good result at the Zhik Oxford Blue.
