Congratulations to Graham Sexton for his overall third place crew in the recent Endeavour ‘Champion of Champions’ trophy races.

–
The RCYC Endeavour is a unique event in the UK dinghy sailing world, recognised by the RYA as the pinnacle of that year’s dinghy sailing achievements which will hail a “Champion of Champions”. Held on the tidal rivers Crouch and Roach in October each year  it’s an invitation only event, with the guest-list hand-picked from National Champions of selected fleets.

Graham represented the Laser 2000 fleet following his 2011 nationals win. The Topper Xenon was this year’s  selected boat sailed by all 25 helms/crews. The event was held on 6& 7 October 2012.

Thank you to all those who sailed yesterday in the Hunter Cup and Rebellious Bowl – it was a great turnout.

Thanks must go to Mr Phil Hunter who joined us on the Committee Boat and saw the racing. Mr Hunter asked us to make this race a memorial to his late father Dennis who died in the last week of August 2012.

Congratulations go to the winner Robin Foster-Taylor who shared the Firkin of Ale with all those present in the bar last evening – well done.

Mr Phil Hunter is keen to come back next year and support the event in this way again.
