Prestwick Traveller

Just a few days to go to the final Topper Traveller of 2011 at Prestwick.  The wind looks excellent for Saturday with a possibility of light winds and perhaps an early finish on Sunday?

Jack, Lewis and Aaron are all in a good position to win the series overall so it will be an interesting weekend.  Prestwick is also recognized as a secondary indicator for squad so well worth getting there if you can.

I have sent the trophies but I cannot be there in person as my parents  are celebrating 50, YES FIFTY, years together as a married couple and they wont be doing that again!

Good luck everyone.

Largs Traveller

Largs had light shifty winds with Aaron winning the first two races followed by Jack and Lewis. Jack took the honours in race three being pushed all the way by Lewis, Calum Rosie sailed well and finished 3^rd, Aaron had to return to start after being over the line and recovered to fourth therefore Jack led Aaron and Lewis overnight separated by a few points. Sunday dawned to light winds again with Lewis storming to victory followed by Ryan Macintyre then Calum Rosie. Race 5 was again dominated by Lewis with Jack and Aaron trailing in his wake. Going into the final race it could be either Lewis, Jack or Aaron that would take the overall spoils depending on the finishing order. Aaron led from start to finish with Lewis sailing in to finish second, third was Ryan who just pipped the ever improving Calum Rosie. The last race result gave overall victory to Lewis over Aaron by one point. The final event will be at Prestwick where the Series title will be decided with four to count from six races it will be either Jack, Lewis or Aaron that will be crowned Scottish Traveller Series Winner. Prestwick is an secondary indicator for squad selection so if you intend or are applying for squads then you should be sailing at Prestwick.
