THE ROYAL Lymington Yacht Club's Peter Andreac Trophy for Junior Club Members took place on December 27, with twenty-three Junior sailors turning up for this year's Trophy, sailing in the Club Scows. Conditions were ideal with a moderate NE wind and high tide at 11.30 hours.
Three age groups sailed in the heats of seven or eight boats with the top three from each fleet moving forward into the final.
Once again the better sailors in the Junior and Intermediate fleets were able to master their Seniors in the final.
The strong rivalry between the junior sailors is showing clearly. Their improved sailing skills and tactical awareness is becoming more evident by the year, which is great to see and bodes well for the Club in the future.
RESULTS: FINAL - 1 Pippa Wilson (Intermediate Fleet) 2 Greg Carey (Junior Fleet) 3 Ben Paton (Intermediate Fleet) 4 Luke Barkway (Senior Fleet) 5 Neale Canning (Senior Fleet) 6 Jonny Clegg (Senior Fleet) 7 Rupert Stock (Intermediate Fleet) 8 Oren Richards (Junior Fleet) Robyn Stock (Junior Fleet)
The organisers thanked everyone who helped run this event, from ashore recording and sorting out the finances to those in the RIBs, on the Bridge and the loan of the nine club scows for the regatta.
