Nacra 15 sailors from across the UK gathered at the Royal Western Yacht Club on Saturday the 11th of October in sunny Plymouth for their National Championship, held this year as part of the Allspars Final Fling. The day began with blue sky and no wind, leading to all fleets being AP'ed.
Having completed three races everyone enjoyed a sociable evening at the Royal Western followed by a curry for 20+. The Fleet was up and active early Sunday morning and three more races were planned for the day with GBR126 having to call in a last minute replacement crew due to illness.
After finishing, the fleet retuned to shore, and the event prize-giving was held at a very busy Royal Western Yacht Club. The theme of the weekend - close racing, was evident in the final standings, with only 2 points between first and second. GBR 070 of Patrick and Jess finished the event in first, with GBR 334 Will and Eliza in second and GBR 378 Marcus and Maddie rounding out the top three.
A massive congratulations to all competitors for racing in some incredibly shifty/gusty conditions, a special mention to the teams on GBR 074 James and Connor and GBR 253 George and Jack for competing in their first class racing events. A huge thanks to Royal Western Yacht Club and Allspars for hosting us as part of the Final Fling Regatta and to the team at Plymouth Yacht Haven for allowing us to use their yard for boat parking.
