2005 SNIPE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

Our Snipe National Championships this year was held on June 25 and 26. Seven boats competed in typical summer weather conditions - a gentle 4 - 8 knot breeze generally out of the southeast with 20 degree shifts. The last race was started with a brief squall coming over the course. With this, winds increased for a short while to 18 knots which by the end of the race was back to 8 knots.

 

Jimmy Lowe with Peter Charment dominated with four firsts and a second. They sailed an excellent series. Robert Dunkley with Kai Chaplin were second overall and John Watson Galloway with Alyson Myers were third

 

We thank Percy Knowles and Mark Dunkley for running the races as well as Fay Regan affectionately known as Florida Fay, who assisted on the first day.

 

Results were: (6 races / 1 drop)
