Optimist Inland Championships

Capsizes, tows, and cold sailors were the order of the day on Saturday but there were smiles all round. Sunday saw the winds drop slightly which improved conditions for the young sailors. The Regatta fleet were not able to race on Saturday due to the conditions but the Main fleet got in three races with another six on Sunday.

Matthew Whitfield won the Inland Championships with Gill Race Team member Sarah Norbury coming second and the Regatta fleet was won by William Heathcote so congratulations to you all.

The Inlands was our first event as sponsor of the Volvo Gill Optimist Class. It was great to meet you all and we are looking forward to seeing you again at the Nationals.
