Olly Peters and Ben Bradley took the 29er Winter Championship on count-back after finishing the event at Grafham Water SC, tied on 13 points with Ben O’Shaughnessy and James Dwyer Matthews.
1st Juniors were Rob Mawdsley and Ollie Mears, 1st females Emily Conan and Lauren O’Callaghan, and 1st mixed team Annabelle Vines and Raulf Berry.
Overall it was a great event, even though day 1 racing was cancelled, with the boats about to launch, due to the 25 knots of breeze.
Day 2 thus started early, and racing kicked off straight away, in the hope of getting in as many races as possible. In the event five races were completed.
Freddie Westwell and Freddie Lonsdale took the opening race honours, then the Irish pairing of Ben O’Shaughnessy and James Dwyer Matthews took race 2.
Race 3 was a warning shot from Peters and Bradley, then race 4 went to another Irish team, Clementine and Nathan Van Steenberge, leaving everything depending on the fifth and final race.
This was a big win for Mueller and Webb, but Peters and Bradley with a seventh and O’Shaughnessy and Matthews with a third were tied for the overall win . . . which went to Olly Peters and Ben Bradley.
