Squib Nationals at South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club

by David West 3 Jul 2007 15:14 BST 24-29 June 2007

No less than 97 Squibs contested their National Championships over six races hosted by the South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club (SCYC) at Abersoch from 24th to 29th June, sponsored by the Haulfryn Group, the Holiday and Residential Homes company, and J2, a leading developer of touchscreens and PC peripherals.

The new champions are Mike and Penny Fenwick from Weymouth SC, sailing 758 ‘Ghost Rider.’ Between them, they probably weigh about 20 stone, making their performance - in a very rough, wet week with winds usually force 6 and occasionally above - all the more remarkable. They are obviously heavy weather specialists, winning Cowes Week in 2006 when it blew a bit (35 Squibs at Cowes – third largest fleet after the XOD’s and the heavily sponsored SB3). Oddly enough, given their light weight, the Fenwicks’ worst result was on the last day when it was a mere force 3. Not winning a single race, their performance was a model of consistency – only once outside the top ten.
