On the weekend of the 20-21 October about 300 sailors, including a good contingent of mirror sailors from around the country, descended on Oxford Sailing Club for the RYA Eric Twiname team racing Championship. Our team from Yorkshire Dales SC consisted of: Matt Lulham-Robinson, Ben Lulham-Robinson, George Richards, Helena Watkins, Will Hide and myself and our mascot, Helena’s hamster.
Five teams entered from four clubs, all helms and crews being under 18 on the day of the race.
Races were sailed under the burgee of the Mayflower Sailing Club, in fine, sunny conditions, winds being southerly, Force 3-4.
