VR Gul Race Team

RYA Zone Championships at WPNSA

At my first Zone Championships I finished as the 1st 4.2 and 23rd overall - I was pretty happy about this as I beat quite a few 5.3’s along the way. We left for Weymouth as soon as I came home on Friday and hitched up the trailer. We were in our motorhome and stayed on site, so we were the first Toppers there. That night it was very windy and I was hoping that it would stay strong for Saturday. On Saturday morning I was the first Topper...
