Flying Fifteen Open at Burton Sailing Club
by Craig Hellon 20 Sep 2006 09:07 BST
16-17 September 2006
David and Sally McKee (Dovestone SC) ran away with this event that took place on a sunny wind starved weekend. 3 visiting boats combined with the club's Flying Fifteens to make a fleet of 13 boats for this event. The first race lasted a gruelling 1:30 minutes which gave the visiting McKees more than enough time to recover from a bad start to win the race with a convincing lead over local crew Derek and Sybil Toller in second palce and visitors Andy Goodard and Colin Pierce (Dovestone SC) in third place.
The following two races were much shorter one lap races that were sailed back to back and everyone was glad to see the back of these! The McKees continued with their winning form taking first in all three races.
On the Sunday the wind had filled in slightly to allow two interesting and competitive races to complete the series of 5. David and Sally made it a clean sweep of firsts to retain the trophy for yet another year. Andy Goodard and Colin Pierce secured 2nd place and Derek & Sybil Toller scored 3rd. A special mention is deserved for helm R J Finch and crew R Jarvis (Middle Nene SC) sailing the slower classic design who lost 3rd place on a countback.
