Topper Open tests competitors to the full

Leigh & Lowton SC played host to the last of the North West Traveller Series for 2014 on Saturday 20th September.  The event was held in tough conditions for the young competitors searching for zone squad places.  The wind was fickle and shifting for the first two races and then came good for the last one, the competitors dealt well with the light winds and changing courses through the day as the OOD adapted his plans to the conditions.

Tom Wallwork won the first two races to clinch the Open (and the series) and Sam Cooper was a convincing second.  Steph Wingeatt claimed 1st Girl overall and led the 3rd race for a couple of laps before being overhauled.  Sam also picked up the U14 trophy, while up and coming sailor Lorcan Knowles sailed into first place in the U13 category.

The food was excellent as ever and competitors stayed on for a post event supper to finish off the series.
