Dinghy Racing - Laser 2000 Nationals in Abersoch 7th – 12th Aug 2011 Army TeamJoin the ASA Today

Laser 2000 National Championships held at Abersoch, North Wales

The Army entered a Team into the Laser 2000 National Championships held at Abersoch, North Wales during the period 7th to 12th August 2011 and a total of nine boats from UK and Germany attended with both experienced and novice crews. Some were first time Nationals entries, others were experienced at National events previous held in Hayling Island, Penzance, Sidmouth and North Berwick.

The team were sponsored by HP who provided some great team gear to wear at prize giving and when we were in the bar, the gilletts and polo tops created a great team identity and gelled the team together. There were also the caps for on water with water bottles for drinks and shoe bags for wet gear after the days sailing. The Team would like to take the opportunity to thanks HP for their support.

The Crews in their final positions were as follows:

(4th) Matt and Clare Sargeant
(9th) Simon Horsfield and Clive Grant
(10th) Miles and Anderley Wade
(21st) Johnny Johnston and George Faull
(29th) Spike Cawley and Alex Chapman
(37th) Colin Lovering and Ann Wright
(38th) Adie and Cathleen Kenn
(41st) Jerry and Phil Potts
(44th) Tom Pepper and Emma Redmond

(There were a total of 45 entries this year)
