The first Cheddar Chase, sponsored by Cheddar Ales was hosted by Bristol Corinthian YC on 9 and 10 April.
After four races and a pusuit race, the final overall results saw John Teague from BCYC in the RS300 holding firmly onto first place overall.
Vortex sailor Jonathon Carter from Rickmansworth SC took second overall, Alto sailors Timothy Kift and Jo Wickens third, with Ollie Houseman, Jeremy Vines and Steve Watton in a National 18 fourth, BCYC’s Laser sailor John Lapes 5th and Nigel and Andy Bird in their RS200 sixth.
BCYC enjoyed hosting this inaugural event and feedback from competitors reflected how successful the two days racing had been in absolutely perfect sunny weather with solid breeze on both days.
