Carsington Summer Trophy - one week to go

Michael Sims heads strong Solo fleet

The inaugural Carsington Summer Trophy takes place next Sunday, 11th May and all entries received by the end of Bank Holiday Monday are in with a chance to win a Garmin VIRB Elite action camera worth £350. First event of the new Garmin Summer Series, the winner of each event takes home one of these great little GPS enabled Garmin action cameras, but everyone entered by the end of today is entered into a prize draw for an additional camera.

All boats competing will be fitted with SailRacer's GPS tracker units with the tracking to be streamed live via the internet with an accompanying live blog. The tracks and data will all be available via the series website for replay and analysis at garmin.sailracer.org. Garmin VIRB cameras will be around the course and on selected boats to record the action for the event report.

Michael Sims, winner of the 2013/14 GJW Direct SailJuice Winter Series, heads a strong fleet of Solos at his home club, the 700 acre reservoir in the Derbyshire, nestled in the beautiful peak district.
