Hampton Sailing Club Annual Regatta
Author: Derek May
14th and 15th June
Saturday saw a beautiful sunny day with a brisk south-easterly wind greet the 41 boats taking part in the Hampton Sailing Club regatta.
The Sunday was to be another sunny day but this time with light and variable winds, except for a very brief “blast” as a mini twister crossed the river and caused a number of spectacular capsizes.
The GP14 fleet saw some close racing, with the final result undecided until the end of the last race with Jimmy James holding onto second position in the race to guarantee his overall first in the class.
The Laser class was decided by the fourth race after Tim Harridge won for the third time, leaving only the second and third spots to be decided in the final race.
In the Enterprise fleet despite not having sailed on the Saturday three straight wins on the Sunday by Matthew Harley took the top spot.
Hywel Perkins, recording three straight wins dominated the Merlin class on the Sunday.
The handicap class saw a visitor from Aquarius sailing a Signet take the honours with wins in the first three races.
