Buckenham Sailing Club Javelin Open

by Andrea Penrose 15 May 2000 09:28 BST

13/14th May

The Javelin open meeting at Buckenham SC near Norwich was graced with entrants from Sheffield, Glossop and Gorleston. Competition was keen in the light easterly wind on the Saturday with the leaders swapping places frequently in the two down river passage races of the day.

Unfortunately due to the lack of wind on the Sunday there was an abandonment of all racing and sail gave way to a leisurely day by the river.

Overall Results: 

1st Mike Pickles/Andrea Penrose Curved Air Buckenham SC
1st David Houghton/John Symonds Blue Chip  G & GYSC
3rd Alan Martin / Steve Martin  Classic AM Buckenham SC
