North Wales Area Championship Report - Llandudno SC - 17th/18th June 2006


Report - Tony Lockett                                                          Full Results

Matt Mee and Graham Nelson of Hollingworth Lake SC, retained their North Wales GP14 Championship at Llandudno Sailing Club with two wins and a third place.

Saturday was hot and sunny with a light shifty breeze which eventually settled in to a force 3 easterly for the second race. Race Officer Paul Moreton had agreed to run a gate start for the class so that they could have practice at this before the Nationals in two weeks time. It was in this race where Matt only managed a 12th place!

Sunday saw a change in the weather and the fleet started race three in a heavy downpour and a light and shifty southerly. The conditions proved testing with the flooding tide having a bearng on which way to go up the beat. The Gold fleet had a tight tussle with some very close racing. Local sailors kepy things in the family with Andy McNamara winning the silver division and daughter Charlie the bronze division.
