Weather one - racing nil

The Laser fleet were unable to get out on the water at all for their final Autumn Qualifier

The weather was the only winner at the final Autumn Laser Qualifier at Sidmouth this weekend. There was too much wind for the boats to go afloat on Saturday and on Sunday morning the swell was still too rough to launch and by lunch time, when the sea had calmed down sufficiently, there was less than five knots of breeze.

So with no racing achieved, the end of season Standard Ladder has Nick Thompson and Mark Powell tied on nine points with Nick on top on countback. In the Radial Class Jon Emmett ends the year at the top with Charlotte Dobson, Andrea Brewster and Alison Young taking the next three places.
