2000: In retrospect, not a good year for Scottish model yachting. At the start of the summer, the water level at Greenock was lowered to allow maintenance to be carried out and was not restored until late September. Low water levels at Paisley caused the cancellation of the Scottish 1M Ranking Race. The Scottish 1M District Championships at Peterhead was cancelled due to lack of entries and finally, at the end of the season, the Levenhall pond succumbed to weed. The net result of all this was that in UK competition Scottish sailors produced their worst results for many years.
October 2000: Worse still, England won the Karachi Cup at Aylesbury by a considerable margin again.
2000 Best Results:
Richard Rowan – 1st Place, UK R6M National Championships
