Simon Hawkes was the winner of the K1 open weekend at Datchet Water SC.
Hawkes took a cleansweep of five race wins ahead of 22 entries at the K1 open, a record fleet for a class open meeting.
This gave Hawkes victory with four points, second Richard Sims with a second and a string of third place finishes for 11 pts and third Jeremy Hudson with 13 pts.
The 22 entrants continues to build on the success of the Open meeting held last month at Barnt Green SC, and bodes well for the Inlands at Carsington on 17 and 18 May.
In case your wondering the K1 is officially described as ‘the ultimate keeled hiking dinghy’ for single-handed sailing.
