National 12 Gill Series Finale at Northampton Sailing Club
Date: 02-Nov-2008 by: Vanessa H
The final round of the 2008 N12 Gill series was held at Northampton Sailing club on the 1st November. 32 boats came to play in the breeze that started off at 15 knots but increased steadily throughout the three back to back races up to 25 knots. Race Officers Richard and Mary Willows set a great course with the leeward mark just off the sailing club giving the spectators a great view of swimmers and survivors. The father and daughter team of Stevie and Joanne Sallis N3436 took home the Gill prize with two firsts to count and a fourth to discard. John and Katy Meadowcroft N3515 won the first race with a good lead but couldn’t find the consistency needed. The new team of Ian Gore and Penny Yarwood N3441 finished second counting four points. The Admiral's Cup division was won by Gareth Williams and Katie Hughes in 3162 Bicycle Clips. The N12 Fleet would like to thank Gill for their fantastic support for the series.
