Musto Lark National Championship at Brixham Yacht Club - Overall

by Stuart Hydon 31 May 2023 21:56 BST 28-31 May 2023

Boom... F4-5 wind strength and big rolling easterly waves epic conditions for the final two races and decider for the 2023 Musto Lark National Championship.

Race 1 saw John Brickwood & Andy Hicks hit left and take the lead which they would hold on to. Tim Fells & Fran Gifford wiggled their way into second and likewise Stuart & Nick Hydon popped into third complimenting the top three old boy helm Lark Sailors.

In the final race Steve Chatten & Kirsty Phipps were the gate boat. Will Pank & Hannah Morris left the gate first, tacked half a minute later and crossed the fleet. They established a good lead with Chris White & Sam Bailey hunting them down until their rudder fell off the pintles.

This enabled Stuart & Nick to pull into second with Tim & Fran third. On the final reach to the finish Stuart & Nick were unable to overhaul Will & Hannah which led to a close finish.

After racing today Ed Bradburn & Holly Evans had done enough to take the title "Musto Lark National Champions 2023".
