2004 North West Soling UK Championship | ||||||||||
Over Easter weekend nine Solings competed for the Northwest Soling
Championship on the River Wyre. Hosted by Blackpool and Fleetwood Yacht Club, Race Officer Peter Jackson and his team provided windward: leeward courses producing tight racing and mixed results throughout the fleet. Overnight leader Derek Priestley was sitting comfortable after two firsts from Day 1 until light airs on the second day let Bryan Bottomley's team in Cockatoo 2 capitalise on consistent results. First lady and Youth prize went to Judith Hewitson sailing on GBR 16. Thanks went to Blackpool and Fleetwood Yacht Club for an excellent racing and dinner prize giving on the Saturday night. |
