The RS400 fleet faced a testing weekend at Grafham Water for event number six of the RS400 Rooster National Tour. Saturday’s racing was cancelled in advance as Storm Amy swept across the country, leaving it all to be decided on Sunday. Although the worst had passed, the fleet still faced full-on conditions with gusts up to 34 knots and plenty of capsizes to keep the rescue crews busy.
After some intense racing, it was Sam Knight and Chris Bownes (Lyme Regis SC) who took the win, navigating the conditions with skill and consistency to claim the top spot. Congratulations to them on a well-earned victory!
A huge thank you to Rooster for their ongoing support of the National Tour, and to Grafham Water Sailing Club for hosting another fantastic event.
