The sailors at Bassenthwaite Sailing Club were not going to let recent events spoil their Easter weekend, as the Club continues to organise great club racing despite the recent theft of the committee boat. The wind was not always the best for racing but everyone enjoyed taking part and it was good to see lots of families taking their children out on boats on Saturday.
This season will see the GP14 fleet continue to build on the success of last season and the club is developing a strong active handicap fleet, offering sailing to all ages and abilities.
In the championship series the results were – Flying Fifteen Easterly Trophy won by Scott Beattie and John Somerville with Ian Campbell and Tony Fisher 2nd. Dave and Lynn Lawson won the GP14 Bass tankard with Robin Dawson and Mike Cowan 2nd. Tim and Rob Smith won the Mirrors Image Trophy and the Handicap fleet Easter Trophy was won by Mark Somerville. This is a promising start to the season, as the GP14 fleet head for the Scottish Area Championship next week we wish them well as John Telford and Andy Smith defend their Championship Trophy and Phil and Rich Hodgkins defend the Junior Scottish Cup.
