Burghfield Sailing Club Ghoulie Phantom Open


Author: Simon Smith

The resheduled Burghfield Ghoulie Phantom Open Meeting was held on Saturday November 18. The weather forecast had looked promising Friday evening but never really materialised on the day, but, never-the-less, 12 Phantoms enjoyed good racing. The meeting was dominated by one sailor, Richard Pakes from Haversham SC who had picked up his new state of the art Phantom less than two weeks before the event and won all three races. Richard dispelled the rumours that the Phantom is only a big man's boat by tipping the scales at a dimunitive 12 1/2 stone and by using a highly developed carbon rig and technique demonstrated superior boat speed on all legs of the course. Behind Richard the racing was much more competitive with Burghfield sailor Mike Lyons counting a 2nd and a 3rd to be runner up with Nick Crook from Hawley Lake two 3rds to finish 3rd overall.
