Ten teams competed in the UK RS Feva National Team Racing Championships at Farmoor Reservoir, Oxford on Saturday 17th May.
The two boat teams raced in bright sunshine with light winds, and after 9 races the ‘HISC Hotshots’ had only conceded one race, qualifying them for the semi finals. Oxford Team Racing Academy joined the semi’s with only two losses; whilst Draycote Destroyers & Astra All Stars took the other two semi places.
HISC Hotshots & Astra All Stars secured their place in the finals with 2-0 results in the semi’s. HISC Hotshots won the first of the best of three series, then Astra All Stars won the second race. Everything therefore hinged on the final race. A very close race which was finally won by HISC Hotshots won now represent GBR at the Nations Cup team racing event in Carnac in July.
Overall Results:
1st HISC Hotshots: James JJ Hammett, Ben Todd, Piers Nicholls, Tristan Payne
2nd Astra All Stars:Josh Boniface, Jake Carpenter, Isobel Clarke, James Scott
3rd Oxford Team Race Academy: Ed Norbury, Charlie Hutchings, Harry Barker, Josh Beck
