Frensham Pond (International !) Open Meeting

The 2022 2.4mR Open Meeting started with a coaching session on Friday evening given by our own World and European Champion, Megan Pascoe. For a number of us this involved a major change in the way we sailed the boat but it proved, for me, that you are never too old to learn new tricks.

The racing consisted of two on Saturday afternoon and four on Sunday where we were very thankful for Club allowing us to have the water to ourselves. The wind varied between SSW and WSW with speed of about 15 knots but large, shifty gusts of at least 20; except for a few, classic Frensham holes. Whilst this was not Frensham at its best it did provide exhilarating sailing. There were 15 entries , 10 from FPSC and 5 visitors, including Rudy Trejo from Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club in Florida, USA, although he lives in Chicago – and I thought I had a long way to travel to sail! Rudy definitely brought the wind from the Windy city.

2022 European Championships - Quiberon France

Congratulations Meg Pascoe

What a great result for the Brits, with Meg retaining her European title in a tightly fought contest. In a fleet of 38 boats, the UK and Ireland together made up nearly a quarter of the fleet. Everyone put in great performances. One day was lost to no wind, but the event still managed 8 good races. Various video clips and pictures from the event can be found on Facebook on the YCIF24 Team 2.4 page. Final days video link.

Inland Nationals at Rutland Sailing Club - September 10-12th 2021

The 2.4 fleet joined the Challenger fleet at Rutland for their National Championship. The rain on Friday morning was a little disappointing but by the time racing had started it had dried up and the wind had filled in.

It was close in the middle of the fleet with Johnny Currell and Kate Hedley sharing the minor podium places. Martin Whittingham-Jones wasn't having the best day out as a former national champion with suspected weed in the first race and parking at the second windward mark of the second race.

Genoa Worlds 2019

CONGRATULATIONS MEGAN PASCOE - 2 times World Champion.

Antwerp 2019

And so on from Genoa, 3 fool hardy Brits continued onto Antwerp. One returning home for a brief 4 days at work (what does the T-Shirt say - " Born to Sail, Forced to Work"), the other 2 continuing their road trip. Meg , Kate and Nev where join my Brit , Martin Whittingham Jones, who had to pull out of Genoa. So a merry band of 4 headed into Antwerp, for what had looked like a pleasant three days sailing... but low and behold the weather forecast changed from a sunny 8mph to a blustery 18 gusting 30mph... oh joy, more windy weather, just what we needed. Still at least the water would be flat !!
