2024: Mid-Summer Trophy (Long Race)
Stephen • 22 June 2024
High Five reclaim Mid-Summer Trophy.
Beautiful sailing conditions on Lake Windermere brought seven competitors to the start line.
As always the racing between the two J80s was exceptionally close and entertaining with just 39 seconds between then on corrected time.
Victory deservedly belonged to High Five though, who led from the start apart from briefly in Bowness Channel - a strategic decision to stay on the East of the lake seeming to make a difference.
& the End of Season Trophy goes to ...
A good turnout on a fine day gave close racing with occasionally challenging conditions for short handed crews. Pura Vida looked ahead on the water but corrected times show a different picture with Seventh Heaven taking Race 2 and the fleet close together for both races. Nevertheless, Pura Vida held on to pip Seventh Heaven to this year's September Cup.
Drum roll please ...
Tough day at the races ...
