The 2005 Mirror Championship season kicked off with the Spring Champs at Datchet Water Sailing Club. The event also formed part of the qualifiers and grant indicators for the 2005 World Championships in Sweden.
32 boats from across the country braved the chilly northerly winds. Racing
on Saturday saw a good 15 knots of wind, keeping everyone on their toes
and enough exercise to keep warm. Race one saw MCA Youth Squad Members
Peter Grey and Rachel Williamson lead from start to finish sailing their
new boat from P+B. The next two races saw father and son team John and
Jamie Clementson dominate proceeding and lead over night.
Sunday bought another bright crisp day, but with much lighter winds, giving
the lighter juniors who had struggled on the previous day to feature near
the front of the fleet. Sadly due to illness the Clementsons were unable
to make the racing and defend their position. The lighter conditions suited
the young Barry sisters, Emma and Martina, winning the next two races.
Going into the last race, things were very close, with Peter and Anna
Mackenzie tied on ten points. Father and son paring Hector and Ben Cisneros
took the gun, with Peter and Rachel second, to give them the Championship.
The next Worlds qualifier is the Northerns at Royal Windermere, 16/17 April. See www.ukmirrorsailing.com for more details.
