The Merlin Rocket class headed to Rock Sailing & Waterski Club for their inaugural Craftinsure Silver Tiller event, round 7 of the 2022 series.
This was a cleansweep for Tom Gillard and Rachael Gray on their return to the iconic travellers circuit.
Second podium step went to Mike and Jane Calvert and in third place were Caroline Croft and Faye Chatterton.
Saturday’s racing was held out in Padstow Bay at the mouth of the Camel Estuary, with only one race possible with a dropping wind strength.
Thus Sunday was full-on with three races held at sea and then two more when there was sufficiant water to sail back in the Camel Estuary.
No matter where the racing took place or how miserable the conditions – cold with constant rain – Gillard and Gray stuck to their task . . . and completed six race wins for a perfect scorecard over the weekend.
Winning the silver fleet was Ed Chapman and Hannah Peters who are newcomers to the class. Bronze fleet winners were Simon Hardiman and Millie Hardiman.
A big thank you to Rock Sailing & Waterski Club for hosting and the Larks for sharing the weekend with us.
Next up on the Craftinsure Silver Tiller is Whitstable SC on the 14 and 15 May.
