At least read the report before you go making disparaging comments ...  Angry

Correct he had gear failure and was a little gutted especially as the last race could easily have been the decider. Had Mike Hobin won and David not finished second he would have taken the meeting.

Well done on that first open. Great support from the early adopters.

Results for D-Zeros (full results to follow with the report). Thanks to Oxford for hosting a great event and some slick race management to turn around 4 races very quickly:

1 David Summerville
2 Mike Hobin
3 Tim Weedon
4 Russ Hopkins
5 Paul Jefferies
6 Jon Cowper
7 Jeremy Carey
8 Dave Woods
9 Mandy Horton
10 Ed Deacon
11 Gordon Stewart
12 Graham Cooper
13 Scott Dereham
14 Stuart Bailey
15 Adrian Brunton

There was some real close racing. Lots of boat on boat action. If you made a mistake it was punished. With the boats so evenly matched getting back up the fleet took a lot of skill (or a big slice of luck).

Good one Rodney- must mean the D 0 is selling well- you need the money old son Wink

I dont think he will mate!

Also heard a rumour of a south cost club that will have an embryonic fleet shortly. More details to follow!
