Enterprise Open Meeting at Minima Yacht Club
Author: M King
Alan Beaney from London Corinthian SC fought off a strong challenge from Paul Young of Birmingham Brookvale SC to win Minima yacht club's annual Enterprise open meeting on the Kingston Reach, Surrey, on Sunday (June 17).
A brisk North-westerly gave ideal sailing conditions throughout the three-race event staged jointly with Twickenham YC. Crewed by Chris Eade, Beaney won the first two races in a hard-tacking contest upstream from Kingston Bridge. At that stage Young, crewed by 13-year-old Richard Craddock, had a second and a third placing as did Minima's Alan Jales.
Young won the third race comfortably to take second place overall with Jales, crewed by Heather Elwin, finishing third. Les Rowlandson of Minima, now in his 80th year, was fourth overall in his Enterprise Frolic.
Minima and Twickenham , two of the oldest clubs on the Thames, combined the event with a Solo Open meeting over the same course. Ian Hurst of Twickenham YC, sailing Ned , won the Wolverson Cup with a couple of first places. Two Minima helmsmen, John Metzner in Firebird and John Kemp in Overtrick took second and third places overall.
