The Topper Inland Championships, hosted at Grafham Water SC, were reduced to one day of racing due to the arrival of Storm Hannah, but that did not stop the 200+ entries enjoying competitive racing.
Oliver Wilcox was the winner of the 178 strong Topper 5.3 championship, winning his two opening flight races and then adding a third place and discarding 12th to finish four points ahead of Samuel Shackle (-5,3,4,2).
In third place, and first girl, was Kate Robertson (6,3,1,-19), with fourth Ben Purrier (-7,5,1,5) who was tied on 11 points with Leo Wilkinson (5,2,-26,4).
Winner of the Topper 4.2 Championship was Sam Grayton (3,1,1-26,1) who finished three points clear of first girl, Immi Rees. In third place was Graydon McLeod Fleming, in fourth Bjorn Handley and fifth Merryn Attridge.
The Championships were part of the GJW Direct National Series 4
