2015 Zone Squad qualification

Our Zone Champs were in Paignton this year, we had a sunny weekend but with very light winds.
Saturday we managed 2 races in the afternoon and 4 races on Sunday.

Having had a fantastic weekend at the Plymouth qualifier I knew this was going to be hard work in the light conditions.  I had hoped to finish mid fleet this time, top 10 was not going to repeat itself unless the wind picked up.  Mid fleet it was, interestingly other sailors who finished near me in Plymouth dropped down to mid fleet too.  Whilst on the other hand Millie did fantastically well at Paignton, WELL DONE Millie!

Our Zone Squad Training Qualifier was at Bowmoor in the Cotswolds.  About 28 of us had applied to be part of the Squad so Duncan and his team of coaches “The Dream Team” had their work cut out to observe everyone.

I had a good day on the water finishing top boy and 3rd overall in the racing.

We have now had our Zone Squad emails and I am very pleased to have been selected to complete a second year in the South West Topper Zone Squad.  

Looking forward to lots of winter training.
