Niner Nationals decided

Excellent conditions for final day of racing in Plymouth

Plymouth Sound almost provided text book weather - the land breeze faded and the sea breeze came in. It still had some tricks up its sleeve and the 29ers struggled in the opposing winds. With the current and ship movements to contend with the Race Officers on both courses have had an eventful week.

Tristen Jaques & Alan Sign kept a cool head in the tricky conditions to eventiually win the 29er Championship by a wide margin. Jenny Taylor & Mari Shepperd won the All girl title and Hannah Stodel and Will Rogers won the Silver fleet.

Stevie Morrison & Ben Rhodes didn't make it easy for them selves in the 49er but eventually managed to overhaul the USA team of Dalton Borgan & Zach Maxam and Ben McGrane & Jonny Clegg to become 49er National Champions. Ben & Jonny took the under 21 prize and Paul Towers & Ben Remoker won the Masters.

Ian Turnball & Adam Ovington left it to the last race to clinch the 59er title, Steve and Charlotte Birbeck pushing hard right to the end.

Thanks must go the Race coordinator Mike Pearson and his willing team from Plym Yacht Club. They put on a great week using the Mount Batten Centre as a base. A big thank you to the sponsors Ronstan and Gul for their fantastic prizes - who, along with the mad DJ are responsible for the fever pitch at the last night prizegiving.
