F15 UK National Championships
After a day of big winds yesterday, winds peaked briefly at 6 knots then disappeared, so no racing was possible Monday 23rd July, the final day of the Allen Flying Fifteen Nationals at Largs.
The Championship rested on the first two days of racing, in particular on the two races on Day 2, when Kneller and Lucas from Grafham Water SC took a win and a third place in two tricky light weather races. Very few competitors managed two good results on a difficult day.
Just two points behind, three teams were tied on six points, but the tiebreak gave Goacher and Evans second place, with husband and wife pairing David and Sally McKee third.
Fourth in a brand new boat, launched on the first day of the Championships, were Irish and National Yacht Club sailors John Lavery and David O’Brien.
They were one of three Irish visiting boats from Dun Laoghaire – the others were Alan Green/Ben Mulligan and Dave Mulvin/Ronan Beirne – who joined Scottish, English and Welsh boats at this Championship at Largs.
