Good Morning Members
There were 61 Squibs at the Nationals last week at Royal Western Yacht Club in Plymouth, of which 13 were from SCYC - another great turn out by our club. Racing was scheduled for 6 races over 6 days but in the end the 6 races were completed over 5 days with a wet and windless Monday on the shore. Chris and Mark Hogan started as they meant to go on winning 3 of the 6 races eventually sealing the Champs on the last day. Mike and James Budd were ultra consistent and finished second overall. Alan Johnson and Dave Garlick & Dave Best and Steve Allso were never far from the front. The new partnership of Malcolm Blackburn and Dave Shiel even managed a guest appearance at the front winning race 2. The weather was great, SCYC had 5 in the top 10, the club was incredibly hospitable and SCYC were really made to feel welcome. The fleet moves on to the Royal Dart YC in 2012. Final results were:
