Matthew Wolstenholme and Uko Tiidemann sailed their Snipe to victory at the Magic Marine Daffodil Regatta earlier this month, beating a mixed handicap fleet of 77 entries.
While boats were competing across three different courses, for the purposes of the Sailjuice Challenge and creating one overall set of results, GPS tracking data was used to evaluate the relative performance of each course. This analysis allowed a handicap to be applied for each course. The course handicap was then combined with the PY-adjusted times for each boat to calculate a combined corrected time that accounted for both course and class handicaps.
Based on the tracker-generated results, the Snipe duo finished ahead of some class sailors including multiple Flying Fifteen World Champion and boss of Ovington Boats, Chris Turner, sailing his OK singlehander on this occasion. In third were Brendan Lynch and Ellen Clark in an RS200.
Olivia Dembinska was fourth in her ILCA 4 and first female, just ahead of first trapeze boat, Jono Shelley's Musto Skiff. Wolstenholme's overall victory continues his winning streak from victory at the Oxford Blue in February, the concluding event of this year's Selden Sailjuice Winter Series.
