RS400 Trident UK Northern Tour at Hollingworth Lake 13th April 2024
A select group of RS400s were greeted by a solid force 4 which was blowing the full length of the lake. It was decided to run 5 sprint windward / leeward races. Richard and Heather Marsh used their local knowledge to win race one with Hamish Gledhill and Ness Evans just beating Chris Pickles and Matt Sharman to take 2nd and 3rd respectively. Chris and Matt got their act together for the next two races with Richard and Hamish battling it out for second and third. After lunch the wind had built. Richard and Heather lead the 4th race for a couple of laps but couldn’t hold off the charge of Chris and Matt. The pattern continued with the same pair winning the final race.
At the prize giving Chris Pickles thanked Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club for hosting a great event. He mentioned the closeness of the racing and efficient race management, and hoped the event could be better supported next year. Thank you to RS400 Northern Tour sponsor Trident UK.
