Simon Hiscocks took a cleansweep of the six races at the Oxford SC International Moth Open
After the discard Hiscocks finished 13 points ahead of ahead of Gareth Davies with Kyle Stoneham a further point back in third place.
Following on a successful Dinghy Show and with five different Moth designs represented, six back to back races were on the schedule.
Conditions were cold fresh water and a 15 knot breeze with some heavy gusts, providing for some scary moments on the confines – for 27+ knot Moths – of the Farmoor Reservoirs.
Chasing Hiscocks was the order of the day, with Eddie Bridle, Andrew Jarvis and Kyle Stoneham taking second place finishes.
Kyle Stoneham . . . ‘Big thanks to Oxford Sailing Club, their race team, and all the volunteers for hosting us and turning around so many races so quickly it was a brilliant effort and really well done, certainly worth the trip.’
Next International Moth open is Grand Prix at Queen Mary SC on March 26/27 followed by the Inland Nationals at Grafham on April 23/24.
