The Tempest National Championships were held over Bank Holiday weekend at
Ullswater Yacht Club.
Winners, after three days of intensive racing, were club members Ian
Modral and Robin Higgens.
With unseasonal weather and challenging sailing conditions, especial on the
Sunday, the competitors sailed a series of races including a long distance
island race on the Monday.
Before Monday's race, Ian, and his son Jonathan, also of UYC, were both in
contention for the title. But by winning the island race, Ian and Robin
made the champion slot.
Jonathan Modral-Gibbons, crewed by Colin Meadows was second and third was
UYC member Mike Adams, of Carlisle crewed by his son Paul.
