Brotherton and Shepherd win

The 29er UK National Championship has come to a close in Hayling Island

Paul Brotherton and Mari Shepherd are the 2006 29er National Champions. With a fifth and a first in the last two races today they sealed their victory. Their only real competition were Dylan Fletcher and Rob Partridge who held onto second but were never really in contention against Brotherton and Shepherd in the medium breezes.

Silja Lehtenen and Scott Babage held onto third while James Peters and Oliver Spensly-Corefield finished fourth as well as taking the Youth prize. Sarah Martin and Nicola Groves are first all girl team coming in at fifth place.

In the Silver fleet it was the Swedish team of Felix lyngander and Marcus Dahlavist who pulled up on the final day to win. Julia Noble and Craig Paul took the Plymouth Trophy for finishing top UK boat in the Silver fleet.

A great championship not just because there were 85 boats from eight countries, the weather and race management from HISC was superb. A big thanks to all the volunteers and staff from HISC and the class association.
