Junior Challenge Series
The Sunday morning Junior Challenge Summer Series and the Junior Challenge Series overall came to an exciting conclusion on the 4th October. The majority of the Summer Series races were fitted in with club racing and it was great to see so many Toppers lining up with the other fleets, in fact the Toppers often formed the biggest turnout of a single class. In total 8 races were sailed in the Summer Series and there were 20 entrants in all with 9 qualifiers. This was another hotly contested series with only 4 points separating the top three boats. It was eventually won by James Seager who was a deserved winner having sailed every race and put in some determined performances. The final results for the Summer Series were:
1st James Seager 2nd Edward Parry 3rd Edward Schofield Most Improved Miriam Woodbridge
That brings us on to the results for the Junior Challenge Series Overall. The results for this were based on both the Spring and Summer Series. Altogether there were 15 races sailed, with 22 entrants and 13 qualifiers but in the end it came down to two sailors, Ed Schofield and James Seager, who went into the final race with just one point separating them. I’m not sure who was feeling the pressure more the helpless parents on the balcony or the sailors. After a slow start Ed managed to work his way up through the fleet to second, beating James back into fourth, and clinching by one point the trophy he so desperately wanted to win. Needless to say it was a tremendously exciting finish to what had been an eventful series. The final results were:
1st Edward Schofield 2nd James Seager 3rd Holly O’Grady 4th James Cummins Most Improved Girl: Freya Cumpsty Most Improved Boy: Richard Parry |
