16 boats from six different clubs competed in the Mirror Southerns at Itchenor SC.
4 short races were sailed in a light and shifty south-westerly breeze in a building ebbing tide.
Chris and Alex Balding (Island Barn Reservoir SC) emerged champions winining races 1 and 3, one point ahead of National Champions Chris and Daisy Fuller (Hayling Island SC) who won the last race. Third place went to Paul and Harrison Smalley (Chew Valley Lake SC).
Race 2 was a family affair with James and Henry Ross winning from Heather and Monty Ross (Netley SC). Heather and Monty promise to be more line-shy next year as 2 OCS meant there was no podium finish for them this year.
Itchenor did a fantastic job of hosting the Mirrors with 9 boats turning up on Sunday for Open coaching with Chris Balding. We look forward to repeating the event next year.
