Comet Open 15th May 2004 |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A Pleasant day, lightly overcast with light
variable winds north to northwest. 18 entries, 5 Banbury boats with visitors from as far a
field as: Cambridge, Crawley and Cheshire. The Coppenhall brothers Ian and Mark shared the top positions in the first two races leaving all to play for in the third race. This was close run with some exciting tacking duels between the brothers with Ian narrowly coming out on top at the line; a boat length ahead. The rest of the fleet settled into two groups of 8 to 10 and battled with interchanging positions. The first Banbury boat was Stuart Allen with 6th place overall and a very creditable 4th in the third race. This was Stuart's first outing in a Comet and he is still on target to achieve his ambition of competing in every Open meeting at Banbury this year. |
