history of the class

2023 The committee provided some funds towards area support, incentivising members to travel to nsca organised events. Paul davis would organise sponsorship for the class, a new role and much needed. Guy Mayger took over from Patrick burns at the age in august, Paul davis securing the vice president role and ensuring a strong line of leadership. Ninety five competitors converged on hayling island for the national championships, ben flower a surprise winner from Cumbley and davenport but his supreme athleticism, tactical guile and a bit of luck made him a worthy winner, and he did it in a ten Year old winder. Sal erskine-furniss won the vacher cup, surprisingly there were no juniors. Ewan birkin-walls won the vintage championship in solo 4206, a number which I do not recognise and that means it was probably never raced hard at championship level. Kev gibb won the Scottish championship in st.andrews, even breaking out a smile during the prize giving. The nation’s cup (70 entries) held earlier in the year in Medemblik was won by davenport, Dijkstra and gillard completing the podium. The dutch put on some show and their hospitality is generous and sincere, you must experience it for yourself. Paul Dijkstra was racing a prototype in frp, showing plenty of speed in the short chop, he would get permission to build three I believe. Ginger boats started building from a new mould for goat marine. Gillard won the inland championship, birkin-walls won the Eos and davenport won the north sails super series and in a break from tradition, Richard instone, though not present at the prize draw won the north sails discount voucher.
