Twenty-three Toppers enjoyed the Red Wharf Bay Sailing and Watersports Club Topper Open, where the Topper North West Class returned to on Sunday June 29th. Bright sunshine and a Northerly Force 3 (sometimes Force 4) provided idyllic sailing conditions.
The onshore breeze provided the waves and surfing conditions that the competitors wanted in preparation for their August Championships. 3 back to back races were held in full visibility of the families and friends enjoying the sunshine on the Club balcony.
The event was dominated by Stephanie Wingeatt from Leigh and Lowton, who won overall despite carrying an OCS in her score. 2nd place was closely fought between Joe Baker of Royal Windermere and Sam Cooper from Red Wharf Bay.
Overall Results:
1st Stephanie Wingeatt (Leigh and Lowton SC)
2nd Joe Baker (Royal Windermere)
3rd (and first under 14) Sam Cooper (Red Wharf Bay SWC)
1st Under 13, Lorcan Knowes (Leigh and Lowton)
The next open event at Red Wharf Bay will be the Anglesey Offshore Dinghy Race on August 10th.
