14 Hot Toddy Championship SDC - 18th & 19th October 2008 |
|
The
GP14 Hot Toddy Championship was won by Tim Corcoran and Brendan
Brogan of Sligo Yacht Club . It was held at Sutton Dinghy
Club on Sat 18th and Sunday 19th October, 2008. Principal
Race Officer Scorie Walls gave the racers a great days racing,
and managed to get 4 races in on Saturday due to the atrocious
weather forecast for Sunday. Sailors came off the water having
had an exhilarating but tiring days racing. Race 1 was won
by Paul Maguire and Stephen Boyle of SDC with Tom Corcoran
and Brendan Brogan continuing their outstanding seasons performance
by winning races 2 & 4 and getting 2nd place in Races 1 &
3. Niall Henry and Oisin Geraghty of Sligo YC took 2nd place
overall with two 3rds in races 1 & 2 and a 2nd in Race 4.
Paddy O'Connor and Tanya McHale took 3rd place with a 5th,
1st and 3rd showing potential for improvement for next season.
Johnny Park and Bob Stenson of Newtownards SC, while principally
coming to Sutton for the party on Saturday evening managed
to race into 7th place and 1st in the Silver Fleet. Alex Walsh
and Paul McCarthy of Swords S&BC took 1st in the Bronze Fleet
sailing their recently purchased GP which has a very smart
pedigree, the boat having come 2nd in Worlds in Sligo 2006
and 2nd in the UK Nationals. Saturday evening's dinner and
party saw the sailors enjoying a night of great food, singing
and dancing and being entertained by a blast from the past
- Mr Elvis Presley. He sang, crooned and gyrated for two and
a half hours despite being mauled, groped and kissed by adoring
groupies as they fought over his sweat soaked scarves. A night
that will be long remembered! Sunday's 33 knots of wind put
paid to any thoughts of racing that day much to the relief
of the many hangovers!!
