Christian Birrell and Sam Brearey found the light wind conditions at Whitstable Yacht Club very much to their liking, winning four of the five races completed at the Craftinsure Silver Tiller event.
Birrell and Brearey completed the the Silver Tiller event with four points, and a sharp reminder to Thomas Gillard and Rach Gray who had taken the previous Tiller event with a similar scoreline.
Gillard and Gray took second overall here with nine points, managing their only win in the final race.
In third place were Tim Saxton and Mary Henderson on 18 points, just one point ahead of fourth placed Alex Jackson and Pip Kilsby on 19 points.
No fewer than 15 different crews managed to secure a top 5 race over the weekend. Racing was tight, competitive and brilliant fun, reflecting the strength in depth of the Merlin fleet.
Next up the Craftinsure Silver Tiller heads to Tamesis on Sunday 22 May 2022.
