Autum Access Trophy

Published by at 09:55 under Racing

A very well done to Howard Hawkes who in his sprint (yes I know) won the race on sunday, with no wind to start just rain and 44mph half way round it was a very exciting race, once again the sandhopper fleet out numbered all the other classes with Zues sailed by Rupert Snow taking first amongst the sandhoppers, this is ruperts first win of the season and im sure his improved performance was down to the training session we held in the morning thanks to Peter Thompson.  Alex Farrell was the star of the day helming Apollo surviving multiple knockdowns and still managing second place. Chris Clark put in a very disappointing show in sandstorm with third position, but it is thanks to his tuition with Alex over the last two years that the pupil has started to beat his master, i’m sure as he gets older he will also be able to out drink you chris?

    That’s not going to be hard Chris only drinks coke.
    I was lucky enough to have young Alex with me,all I can say is what a star performer,definitely one for the future.

    Thank you Barry. It was a great sail – you should come and have a go! I told Chris and Theresa they’d chosen the wrong vessel!

    “That’s not going to be hard, Chris only drinks coke.”

    Is that so that he doesn’t repeat a mistake that he made at a Steve Hopper party a couple of years back?
