RYA Zone Championships

Over 700 of the nation’s most eager young Olympic sailing stars of the future will be tussling for titles this weekend (25-26 September) as they do battle at the 2010 RYA Volvo Zone and Home Country Championships at eight venues across the UK.
With all eight Zone and Home Country Championship events sponsored by Volvo Car UK again this year, racing will take place in eight RYA-supported Junior dinghy and windsurfing classes at the six English Zones, Wales and Scotland.
The RYA Volvo Zone and Home Country Championships traditionally mark the end of the Junior racing season and the start of a hard winter’s training. They are a key event for any young sailor wishing to be selected for the RYA Zone and Home Country squads, which are the first step on the pathway to Olympic Classes sailing.
Having honed their skills at club training and competitions throughout the year, the annual Championships give the sailors the chance to pit their wits against the best of the rest within their Zone under the watchful eye of their local RYA High Performance Managers (HPMs) and other senior RYA racing staff.

Results from Loch Tummel

Loch Tummel SC was a fine venue for MICSLtd.com STT6 last weekend. With a surprisingly good breeze on Saturday the race team elected for four races on a standard trapezoid course shared with the Optimist Main, Laser and Radial fleets plus Fevas and Europes. Sunday dawned with steady drizzle and the loch resembling a mill pond with no more than 3 mph forecast and the dreaded "variable" direction so after a short postponement the prizegiving was held at noon and competitors enjoyed a rare chance for an early lunch and a relaxed drive home.

Results are final as of 8:40 on September 23, 2010
