Noble Marine Comet Trio National Championship 2023 at Brixham Yacht Club

by Tracie Padro 13 Aug 2023 20:13 BST 4-6 August 2023

Seventeen intrepid crews could not be deterred by the prospect of Storm Antoni. Proud to be sponsored by Nobel Marine, the class looked forward to 3 days of sailing at Brixham Yacht Club.

After day one it was clear in this friendly and fiercely competitive fleet there would be no clear winners. One thing for sure was there was great sailing in very challenging conditions.

  • 6 races
  • 2 seals
  • 17 Trios
  • 4 dolphins
  • 3 capsizes
  • 25 knot of breeze
  • 40 portions of fish & chips
  • 34 happy & tired sailors
A fantastic championship, with huge congratulations to Ben Flower and Mark Ripley, our 2023 National Comet Trio Champions. Interestingly using the Solo National Championships as a warm up for our event!

Many thanks to Brixham Yacht Club for superb hosting and great race management. Thank you to Noble Marine for their continued support.

Next port of call... the Inland Championship at Llangorse Sailing Club on 2nd & 3rd September 2023.

The 2024 National Championship will be held at Exe Sailing Club on 12-14 July 2024.
