Pickles/Sharman Masetrclass at GNAC!
The Trident UK Northern Tour concluded at Bassenthwaite Sailing Club as the RS400 fleet competed as part of the ever-popular Great Northern Asymmetric Challenge (GNAC). With 8 races planned over two days GNAC is always considered to be a full-on event, with all the ‘Bs’ in place to make for a great weekend for all involved. i.e. boats, breeze, bar, band, bacon sandwiches and banging hangovers.
17 RS400’s raced as part of the fleet of sixty-three asymmetric boats that were split into two flights. The RS400s comprised the majority of the fast fleet.
Chris Pickles and Matt Sharman were the clear winners, and second overall in GNAC, with Hamish Gledhill and Ross Southwell second and Mark Somerville and Joe Roberts third.
