Congratulations to Chris Clarke & Oliver Herve who are the new Sandhopper national champions
in Sandstorm their brilliant results were 1.1.1.1.2 which sealed victory. 2nd was Apollo with Dan Henderson & Bruce Spratt. 3rd place went to Nick Binnendijk and David Hopper in Scruffy.
26 boats competed in two days of testing conditions

The sandhopper national are being held this weekend at TBYC.

registration is at 8.00am briefing at 8.30 sharp first race 9.30

Looking forwards to the Sandhopper nationals  this weekend, there is the expectation of seeing on the water, the finest of boat handling along with the most courteous of sailing etiquette….and the desire not to be T-boned, I don’t know why I have been asked to assemble a protest committee panel really?

However, it is just as well to be prepared so any knowledgeable people of the racing rules please respond below and be available after the racing.

Many thanks

simon
