Musto Skiff sailor Dylan Noble has won the early entry prize draw for the Lord Birkett Memorial Trophy which is being held at Ullswater Yacht Club on July 5 and 6.
This year the iconic long distance race is part of the Garmin Summer Series and a Garmin VRIB Elite action camera was up for grabs for early entrants on the SailRacer website.
A total of 133 entrants were put into the hat for the draw and Dylan, a member of Ullswater Yacht Club, was the lucky winner. He will have his prize camera fitted to his boat before the Saturday race.
The skiff-sailing Noble family, all members of Ullswater Yacht Club, will be out in force at this year’s Birkett. Dylan will be joined on the start line by his dad, Lester, a record six times winner of the coveted Birkett silver salver, who will be racing a 49er. His mum Anne will be sailing a VX-One and his sister Julia is entering with a 49er FX.
Competitors can still enter online, visit the Lord Birkett Trophy page on the Ullswater Yacht Club website for more information.
