Contender Inland Championship at Rutland Sailing Club

by Rob Smith 6 Nov 2014 14:00 GMT 1-2 November 2014

The 32 strong Contender fleet assembled last weekend at Rutland Water for the 2014 Inland Championships were treated to a serious mix of wintery conditions, and some very close, quality racing.

The generally strong gusty conditions for Saturday's 3 races gave way to eventually light difficult stuff on Sunday which mixed the results up but left a collection of experienced warriors in the top spots.

Full report to follow.
