Carsington at the 505 Nationals
Four boats from the club competed in the 2007 505 Championships at Abersoch from 14 to 17 June, and came away with the trophy for BEST CLUB TEAM, out of a fleet of 30 boats.
The weather provided a day of very windy racing, a day of light winds, a medium day and a cancellation.
The event was won by Ian Pinnell and Carl Gibbon (who will be known to some Ogston friends), even though they were unable to sail one of the races.
Best result from CSC was a sound 6th place ... Richard Sims & Simon Wood, who also won the "Salty Yacht Trophy" ( the old f--ts prize) ; Jack Hayhurst & Adrian Coates came 8th, with a 4th place in race 4; John Webster & Nick Thompson got 9th; Harry & Simon Briddon came 12th, sailing specially well in the strong winds. Russell & Andrew Short (who often sail at CSC on Saturdays), sailed very well, came 4th, and also won race 3 when they got the finish right ... but the leading boats didn't !
The Race Officers did a sound job; the beer pumps were working well, and it was an enjoyable event. JH.
