2014 SW District Championship Round 6 – Bideford & District

Sunday 26th October saw 17 skippers descend on Upper Tamar Lake for the final round of the SW District Championship. With the clocks going back, marking the end of British Summer Time, meant that everyone had an extra hour to travel to North Cornwall. Conditions were lighter than predicted or expected, with mid top suit being the order of the day, barring the odd gust at times. With the wind direction over the wall, made for very shifty conditions. John White and his race team did a sterling good keeping the racing moving to complete 11 races by close of play at 3pm. Father and son duo, Tony and James Edwards sailed very consistently, as expected from ‘Team BritPop’, with Tony narrowly taking top spot from James, and John Taylor sailing his newly planked design, RUBIX, into a creditable 3rd place.
