Last weekend the 17/18th October saw the final weekend series that counted towards the Club Championship. Cold, blustery weather on Saturday was not to the liking of the Flying 15s and they stayed on shore and watched the GPs and Lasers cope with varying weather conditions that at the end of the afternoon left a covering of snow on Skiddaw.
No sailing for the Flying 15s meant that William Carruthers, who had to win all 5 races over the weekend to win the championship, would be second to Scott Beattie. Neil Currie, who braved the elements on Saturday along with world champion Steve Goacher but only to do some tuning sessions in preparation for the next World Championships to be held in Esperance, Australia next February, finished third overall.
The Flying 15s sailed all three races on Sunday to settle a closely fought battle. After two races Mike Moore and William Carruthers each had a 1st and a 3rd, and Graham Kirkpatrick had two 2nds resulting in everything being on the last race. Graham Kirkpatrick took an early lead and left Mike and William to battle it out. Spinnaker problems for Mike enabled William to pass and chase Graham. Although it seemed the race was over when the shorten course signal was sounded, Graham mistook which leg of the course he was on and headed for the clubhouse. This allowed William, crewed by Graham’s daughter Andrea, to take the lead and win the weekend series! Mike, with a 1st and a 2nd finished 2nd and Graham 3rd overall.
