  • Wilson Trophy
    It looks as if the West Kirby Hawks are the winners of the 2012 Wilson Trophy. The announcement on the Wilson WWbsite says:-
    Regretfully the Race Committee has decided that, as the wind is now blowing 30 knots and building, the event must be postponed sine die and the finishing positions for the 2012 Wilson Trophy are those at the end of the round robin.
    There is a league table for the last round, which shows the Hawks as unbeaten and I assume that comprises the full round robin.

    Meanwhile, we are well into the BSDRA Team racing season and the NoR and entry form, taking place on June 16th has been published. Universities are also arranging their events for the Autumn Term and it would be good to get them in our calendar as well as BUSA's. Do let us know once you have a date.

  • Hoad Shield
    A potentially blustery and wet day saw five flights of boats launch for the 32 competing teams in the Hoad Shield. With the decision to sail with Cut Downs made at the start of the day racing continued apace with around 96 stage one races completed before the semi finals.

    Several teams maintained their 100% win rate nearly to the end with the semi-finalists only being decided by the result from the last few stage 1 races.

    The Semi Finals were run in slowly deteriorating conditions. A well deserved final between both Magdalen College School Teams saw MCS 1 retain the Hoad Shield.

    Thanks go to Tonbridge and Sevenoaks Schools, Bough Beech Sailing Club and all those who helped to deliver the event!

  • It's very quiet
    Tess Hamer says you should be tagging participants at BUSA, apparently Tom Churchill has put some photos of the event on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150860151615871.480638.510640870&type=1

    I am awaiting news of the Hoad Shield which was the other weekend - the forecast was dreadful so it might not have happened.

    Oh Yes the Wilson Trophy is coming up soon.

  • Inter-Services
    The Annual Inter-Services Team Racing Competition are being held at Farmoor Reservoir, sailed in Laser 2000's this Thursday and Friday April 19/20,2012. Each of the services have two teams entered.

    At close of play on Thursday two full round robins have been sailed in shifting and variable conditions. The Navy Team appear to be doing well and seem to be in with a chance, though the RAF also appear to know what they are about.

    Friday saw a third round robin sailed followed by Finals for the A and B teams. The wind increased markedly for the finals. Both Finals were between RAF and Navy. In both cases Navy dominated winning the best of three events in just two races.
