TOPIC:

Mary Rook (4th at Looe) sailing with a crew of top women sailors won the 3 day UK Matchracing champs at Weymouth on Monday. It was sailed in J80 sportsboats - a bit like a 26 foot Albacore with a huge spinnaker and a fixed keel.

In the best of 3 finals there was a lot of wind ( min 25 knots)and I was suprised that spinnys were required by the organisers- anyway Mary and her crew kept the boaunder the sails downwind to win. You can read the full story at:-

Well done Mary, I had a quick look at the links and see that she has been invited to to the Grand finals in October, I would just like to wish her the best from all us at the NAA.
