Up River N12 Open Meeting

Saturday 15 September saw 20 National 12’s (including 9 boats from Up River – a 100% turnout!) competing in the 2-race no discard open. The first race started in a light breeze, with a short beat followed by a long run against the tide. This leg saw lots of place changing with Gerry Ledger crewed by Liz Ross pulling out a small lead. In the more open sections of the river, Paul and Freya Pelling overtook Gerry when the wind filled in sufficiently for a marginal planing reach. The wind died away again for the long beat back to the finish, with Paul and Freya pulling away to easily win from John Meadowcroft crewed by Charlotte Stewart and Gerry.

The second race saw Paul make a clear start to immediately pull away into a good lead from Fran Gifford and Sophie Mackley. Behind these two was a closely fought group led by Ian Gore and Frankie Turley. Fran moved up to challenge Paul and then overtook him when he hit a mark and had to reround. Fran held the lead with Paul finishing second and Ian third.

The racing was followed by a games evening (including Night Frisby and Volleyball in the dark) and food and drink – everyone had a great time!

The next day it was off to Thorpe Bay for something completely different….!

Overall Results:

1st Paul and Freya Pelling – Up River YC
2nd Fran Gifford and Sophie Mackley – Aldeburgh YC
3rd John Meadowcroft and Charlotte Stewart – Henley SC
4th Caroline Martin and S Childs – Burghfield SC

First Admirals Cup
Gerry Ledger and Liz Ross – Up River YC
