Chief Coach retains credibility….just! 

Some results from the racing at Oxford, after the Training Day, have been dropped off by Rudolf…..so not 100% sure about completeness or accuracy! Apparently there were several capsizes, though many results were consistent between the two races. Allegedly, a good time was had by all and both squaddies and newer members all felt it worth coming.

It seems there was some damage on the previous day that stopped some sailing on the Sunday - Imogen and Hermione Stanley had a lifted bow and Eleni and Henriette, a “large hole”. We heard that Jane Sceales & Cassie Symes rocked up for the Sunday racing, but we don’t seem to have a result for them! With Phil Sparks headed off for Christmas, Ben Gratton stepped into the front of a Lark to crew for Oxford SC host, Richard Stanley.

Matt Rainback & Simon Foskett put Neil Marsden & Ian Dobson under pressure, and new boys, Mike Wood and Hugh Brayshaw were third overall. Joanna Freeman & Hannah Mitchell had the women sorted.
