NSC Solo Fleet - Series Results

 

NSC Solo Open 1st July

Results and Report on Open Calendar page

 

Gary's new Solo arrives at last!

And what a way to start. First in the Solo Early Summer Trophy plus good results in the Club Pursuit and Handicap races to win both Series overall.

Gary Livingstone collected his new Winder Solo from P&B on Friday. After the naming ceremony and champagne reception just before the first race on Sunday 18th June, Gary put his boat on the water and had ten minutes to get familiar with it. He took the lead in the first race and, although he was briefly overtaken by Graham, Gary managed to regain the lead which he held until the finish.

Gary and Flyaway Peter repeated the process in the second race. In the third race, he had a slower start (maybe he was feeling sorry for the rest of us) but he managed to pull up to second place at the finish, being only a few seconds behind Richard.

Congratulations Gary!
