Windy Laser4000 Nationals 2005 HISC

A few nominations from teh first night:

Ian Sanderson - as previous Firefly nationals runner up, decided he needed a bit more pace this year, sold his boat got a brand new one, and then proceeded to get beaten by his old boat in every race - didn't even make it into the top 10.

Tom Glanfield went out on the town on the Saturday night at the Weymouth event. As overnight leaders they focused on covering Hugh/Susannah, only to let Tara/Chris & John/Fran past, eventually finishing 4th


But the winner - by a HUGE margin was JP

Jody & Emma (4444) had just saved up all their pennies to upgrade their boat and traded 4444 in for the hardly used 4625 - which caused much discussion around relevant boat names, as "on all fours" was no longer appropriate. They take it to the Isle of Sheppey event for a little tune up prior to the National Championship sand some gentle racing. On the 1st run of the 1st race,they are going downhill on starboard they get ploughed into by JP on port. Comin g off the loser they got a big hole in the boat, a broken mast, ripped sails etc.

So JP get the "Duckhams Lifgetime Achievent Award".
