5 NSSC cadets entered for this year’s event at Grafham, a record 303 entered for the event as a whole with 276 in the main fleet & 27 for the Regatta fleet

Both Charlotte & Dan Fenn entered the Regatta event putting in very good performances, Charlotte finishing 4th Overall achieving a 3rd in race 4, Dan finishing 7th  overall achieving a 3rd in race 3
In the Sunday pm race, which did not count towards the overall event, Charlotte & Dan finished 1st & 2nd respectively.

Jonty Freeman, Louis Knevett & Will Bovington competed in the main event where the fleet was divided into 4 flights, the plan being to sail 6 races over 2 days. In practice only 4 races were completed due to a lack of wind for the Saturday afternoon races, however the Sunday races were competed in good winds, the less experienced sailors choosing to reef.

Louis, competing in his 1st major event performed gallantly finishing 262nd. His best result being 112th in race 4

Jonty, preferring the stronger winds achieved his best position in race 2 with an 81st finishing 209th overall. Next weekend Jonty will be competing at The Eric Twiname Team event at Rutland having qualified for the South East Zone Team.

William, having completed a 2nd year of squad training (this year in the JDP) posted his best set of results at a major event with a 
66th, 73rd, (96th) & 55th finishing 150th overall.

Congratulations to all 5 cadets who were a credit to NSSC.
