what a great weekend!!

WKSC as ever did us all proud, loads of good racing, great socials, warm welcome and a fab venue as ever..

For a lesson in team race starting then watch the starts of the final races at
http://www.wksc.net/wilsontrophy/results.asp

The select the video - each race was filmed separately but turn your sound down as it's mainly wind noise..or distorted commentary..

WKSC in grey, Larchmont in blue.

Cracking final! West Kirby Hawks beating Larchmont 3 - 2 in the final, very very close race. Its been 8 years since a West Kirby team won the Wilson!

Might surprise you to know thanks to quite a close relationship with Eric
Twiname I got half decent at it in the early '80's he was a handy team racer
and advice from him was worth its weight in gold.

And I/we did enjoy it, narrowly missed going to the team worlds in Sardinia

The wilson is a very big team racing event which is held every year.  Just go to google and type in .....'wilson trophy' 

BTW team racing is where you all work togther as a team, that's usually 3 boats, to try and beat the oppositon on combined points.  It involves co-operation, thinking ahead, intimate rules knowlege...you wouldn't enjoy it.

If you want to up the pedantry, it's a US Navy aircraft carrier- those are F14s.
