Congratulations to Ollie Groves and Esther Parkhurst (Beaver SC) for winning the 2025 TridentUK Northern Tour
Congratulations to Ollie Groves and Esther Parkhurst (Beaver SC) for winning the 2025 Trident UK Northern Tour. To be fair with four event wins and a second place they had the title wrapped up in June after the event at Carsington, but for good measure they won the last event at Bassenthwaite SC. We shouldn’t forget the small matter of them claiming the RS400 National Championships held in Northern Ireland in August to add to their growing list of titles.
Hamish Gledhill with Ross Southwell (West Riding SC) fought it out for second place with Dave Exley and Nigel Hall (Leigh and Lowton SC). Behind them in fourth place Alastair Rimmer (Bassenthwaite SC) with a long list of crews continued his rise in the RS400 fleet to finish fourth. Sam Waller and Martin Penty (Beaver SC) were fifth.
Full results, report and a look forward to 2026, thanks to our Northern Tour Rep, Hamish Gledhill here.
