SW Topper Traveller - final event at Bowmoor Sailing Club


Really pleased with my big improvements in the Travellers this year.
This was our last Traveller and we had our series prize giving - and I won a prize !
Overall I was 20th (last year I was 37th) and I was also first boy aged 12 and under.

Saturday was our training day which was also our last Zone Squad indicator day.
The lake was like a mirror, but we did get to go out with our coaches, Lin and Duncan.
In the morning we did lots of different starts for an hour and a half and in the afternoon both groups joined and did some practise races.

When we woke up in our camper on Sunday the wind had died, the lake had completely turned into a mirror and with lots of mist the visibility was terrible.  By mid morning the mist had lifted and eventually we did get out and got in three races.

As the wind was so light I got to beat some really good National Squad sailors who I have been chasing all year. In the first I came 12th, in the second race I came 20th and in the last I came 16th.
