The 2016 Enterprise National Circuit

by Neil Barrett 20 Dec 2016 16:28 GMT 20 December 2016

Huge congratulations to Tim Sadler and Richard Sault for winning the 2016 Enterprise National Circuit sponsored by North Sails and Peak Dinghy.

Tim and Saulty have shown great pace in the Peak machine, competing in 7 out of the 10 events and taking wins at 5 of them.

The hotly contested circuit runners up, Neil and Sophie, finished the season in second with 12 points, closely followed by Matt Velamail and Tim Brownell in third with 15 points.

First lady helm overall went to Ann Jackson crewed by Alan Skeens putting in a great performance to end the series in 4th overall.

The circuit consisted of ten events sailed at a variety of venues across the country, mixing it up at both inland and sea venues. What a great year the Enterprise Association has had as we welcomed the return of the circuit in celebration of 60 years of competitive Enterprise racing.

Thank you to our sponsors North Sails (providing a brand spanking set of new sails and accessories) and Peak Dinghy (providing multiple accessories) and to everyone who has attended this year's racing, it was a blast from start to finish and we hope to see you all next year.

Please keep your eyes on the website as we are making the final arrangements for events in 2017 with the plan to publish early January. As always we will also be looking for potential sponsors to support the 2017 circuit so please don't hesitate to message me at:

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year

Neil Barrett and The Enterprise Association
