16 boats from six different clubs competed in the Mirror Southerns at Itchenor SC.
4 short races were sailed in a light and shifty south-westerly breeze in a building ebbing tide.
Chris and Alex Balding (Island Barn Reservoir SC) emerged champions winining races 1 and 3, one point ahead of National Champions Chris and Daisy Fuller (Hayling Island SC) who won the last race. Third place went to Paul and Harrison Smalley (Chew Valley Lake SC).
Just a reminder that the Southern Area Champsionships will be held in a couple of weeks time on 1st June. 4 back to back races, start time 11.00, it's an 11am high tide, and in the summer much easier to get to Itchenor a on a Saturday and be earlier rather than later!
