43rd Bloody Mary at Queen Mary Sailing Club

by Tony Bishop 9 Jan 2016 18:12 GMT 9 January 2016

International 14 makes a perfect Bloody Mary

Near perfect conditions greeted the sailors of the 6th leg of the GJW SailJuice Winter Series as the 43rd Bloody Mary got under way at Queen Mary Sailing Club. This year attracting 274 entries in 60 classes from 123 clubs.

The Toppers lead by William Penny and Magnus Handley started the race in a steady force 4 and held off the catching fleet but inevitably as the wind increased the RS Feva XL of Michael and Samuel Dyer took the lead coming up to the two hour mark. There was a quick lead change to the Laser of Alistair Goodwin who held off the fleet for a further half a lap. But as the wind increased further to a gusty force 5, testing the skills of many, the International 14 of Neale Jones and Ed Fitzgerald carved their way to first place with over 20 minutes to spare. It was an impressive performance for the 14s with Archie Massie and Harvey Hillary sailing though in to second to make it a one two for the 14s.

The top ten had 7 different classes of boat with 217 making the finish.

  • First Lady helm was Molly Sacker in a Laser 4.7
  • First Queen Mary Helm was Rupert Bedell in a Laser Radial
  • First Grand Master was Philip Meakins in an Osprey
  • First Junior was Alex Smallwood helming a 420
Class prizes were also awarded to 12 class winners with 8 or more boats entered.
